I agree with the OP. I would rank Sterling a little higher though.

First of all thouse grounders didn't attack him. That old man was running for his life. Apart from Artigas no one intended to hurt him, they were all scared and running for their lives AWAY from him. So don't try to justify what he did with self defence.

Second not once did he show remorse. If anything he tried to guilt Clarke and cited her as the cause of their deaths. When confronted with his actions he tried to place the blame on her.

Third While Tsing and Cage were horrible, their reasons for killing were far more noble than Finns. Finn was frustrated and scared and angry when he killed those 18 people. They killed out of necessity. He was never in any danger. He had a village of people in a pen, unarmed and he slaughtered them like lambs because he was angry.

And fourth, let's go back to the start of the show. What was the first thing we saw Finn do? Carelessly and thoughtlessly take off his seat belt and 'spacewalk', and encourage others to do it, causing their deaths. So his death count is at 2 right now. Then we find out he was arrested for illegally spacewalking, which wasted months worth of oxygen in the ark. Then we find out the people on the ark are dying due to lack of oxygen and they need 6 months to repair the damage to the life support system, but only have four months of oxygen. That's why they sent the 100 down to Earth. Because they had no air and no choice and no time to waste, they needed to remove bodies from the ship and they needed to find out if the Earth was inhabitable. So from this point on, any delinquent casualties are his fault. Then we find out the 100 wasn't enough and if the Earth is unsustainable they need to cull 300 people just to make it to 6 months. So those 320 people were culled because of him.

And the season goes on, while the number of casualties on both sides (grounders and delinquents) rises and all of this would've been avoided if the 100 were back on the ark but they aren't and that's on him. The village of grounders that's set on fire by the flares? That's Finn's fault. The kids that die defending the drop ship? That's him too. The 300 grounders that Clarke barbeques with the drop ship? Finn.

Then we get to season 2. And later on in the season we find out the truth about the spacewalk. It was really Raven that went out, and he took the blame for it because she'd have been floated. And now it's both their fault. But it's no less Finn's fault. His idea, he was the one that suggested it and got everything ready and everything. He was the idiot that thought two untrained kids could totally just hi-jack an astronaut costume and an air lock and play at being space pirates or whatever and sent Raven on that trip that cost over 320 ark citizens their lives and the pain and bloodshed of the war between the grounders and the delinquents and the torture in the mountains and everything else.

And after al he did, all the lives he cost, all the effort of everyone to stay alive, he puts literally everyone at risk and nearly starts a proper war between grounders and camp java by not turning himself in at a time when his friends were all imprisoned on the mountain and in great danger. Did he really think his life was more important than everyone else's in that mountain? Than all the grounders and ark citizens that would've been slaughtered if that war took place?

So yeah, I'm glad he's dead. And I also believe his death was one of the most deserved and epic deaths of the season.
