Negan said things like "I kept 70 people alive despite the END OF THE WORLD. What exactly did I do that was so bad?" Rick had a hard time disputing this, despite the obvious anger over Glenn.
Rick would feel like a hypocrite if he killed Negan or locked him up again.
Rick might feel like a hypocrite, but he's really not. He never forced his protection on anyone, and only killed in self defense or defense of others.
Negan might have had good intentions, but he went full on tin pot dictator. Yet the story seems to act like since both men killed, their equally bad/grey.
There was the time in #75 where he pulled out the gun and tried to take control of the village but Michonne hit him over the head before he could do anything.
You could do that... Or you could just, I dunno, whack him? Like have a bunch of guys follow him, then shoot him. Shoot him from from FAR AWAY, with a rifle, so he can't do any main character-fu memetic Badass bullshit. Then feed him to zambos.
You could, like, just do it and it would actually WORK.
