Gareth is the worst type of person imaginable. Hes sadistic and cocky when in power but immediately weak and pathetic without it. After spending so many episodes taunting and then hunting Rick, Gareth is finally on the receiving end for once. After his fingers are shot off during their attempted raid on the church, Gareth tries to justify his actions, pleading for mercy. He says theyll leave and never come back, that they're no longer a threat. Thankfully, having never been shown mercy himself, Rick is not interested. What really puts his death above all others is that it fulfills a promise Rick made episodes earlier: that he would kill Gareth with the machete from his bag. He doesnt just shoot Gareth, as he said, he didnt want to waste the bullets. Instead, he brutally butchers him to death in a manner befitting such a vile person. The cherry on top is watching Michonne, Abraham, and Sasha do the exact same thing to his compatriots in the background. It's undeniably sadistic, but why else watch The Walking Dead if not to see bad people get savagely killed?
