Don't forget that Bellamy also kicked the stool from underneath Murphy. That's attempted murder. Finn tried to get them to cut Murphy down. He was the moral compass for the group. Someone said that Finn didn't have PTSD and they were sticking to it until someone from the show says he did. Jason Rothenberg actually did say that. Check out the Finn character analysis on Tumblr for an understanding of how PTSD lead to the massacre. Just put Flavorsprincess in the upper left corner search box. The article is called "Dissecting Finn".

Also, unarmed people can be just as deadly as armed ones. Ask Murphy. Things happened the way they did because the writers were setting up for that gut wrenching mid-season finale when Clarke kills Finn. There were a lot of things that didn't make sense. You don't have to be an adult to know that you don't charge an emotionally distressed person carrying an automatic weapon. What was the learning curve there when you see others being cut down and you think you can make the same mistake with different results. The writers just wanted to kill a main character. But that entire set up made little sense, especially that Finn would change so dramatically in such a short time with no build up.
