Was it over the top? Yes. But you're talking about a group that has gone through hell, and part of Michonne's, Sasha's, Rick's and Abraham's reactions had to do with having enough of dealing with all these people that keep endangering their lives and causing pain in their hearts. The key thing is that they're able to turn that "violent" switch on and off for the time being. It's going to be interesting to see just how far Rick is going to go with his actions. It's going to be interesting seeing him rationalize certain situations. The challenge for him is trying to keep a certain balance of maintaining his sanity, and being able to turn into that savage in order to protect his family.
Guys like Tyreese are not equipped to deal with the world they live in. He let a guy live after he threatened to kill baby Judith. In fact, I hope Cutty is one of the next to go because his character is just so damn soft. This isn't the beginning of the apocalypse. He should be a bit hardened by now like the rest of the group. Do what it takes to survive otherwise you're just going to be putting people in danger around you.
he didnt let him go, he thought he had beaten him to death. the actor himself confirmed this
I don't know if I should take the actor's interpretation of that scene as official cannon.
But for discussions sake let's say that's true. If Tyreese actually thought he had beat that guy to death, that's a pretty awful assumption and careless mistake on his part. I just thought the whole scene where he prevented Carol from seeing his body showed me that he was hiding something.
Anyway, I still don't think he's mentally equipped to deal in the world they live in. He reminds me of Dale somewhat. And that's rather annoying to see, even though he serves as a contrast in mentality to the rest of the group.
