I don't know whose argument this supports, but during that episode, I was watching and texting back and forth with my brother, and I kept saying stuff like "Rick and Daryl need Jesus" and "They found Jesus!"
I was thinking Eugene just cause he can't kill a walker and Negan would prbly want to tough people to work for him and kill off the weaklings. Well as king as Carl doesn't die I'm happy
Hmm, I thought he'd actually got it under control. He seemed to become an asshole somewhere in the middle, in the prison. But he seemed to have gotten the curve.
TL;DR: Yes.

Identical ...
Good comparison of deaths on the show and in the comics.
I never understood why everyone is so eager to just kill each and every wrong-doer. So the guy beats his wife, put him into prison you psychos! I know the point is to show them going bland and brutal, but that Alexandria mayor lady should have at least a little more common sense.
Hmm, still they don't even think about alternatives and are extremely fast with their death sentences. If the purpose is to show them as emotionally dull assholes (which might very well be the purpose and a reasonable and fitting theme), then it works.
Meh, granted for that guy maybe. But they do this in general. From Carol saying "if they won't listen to us we'll kill 'em" to other incidents where they considered killing people for much less deeds. There's no humanity without humaneness.
He's let that slide in the comics, but not on the show yet.
@NapoleonWilson They're in very unusual and demanding circumstances.
In the comics, Alexandria's first leader went bad, and they let him live and kicked him out. He obsessed over it, came back, attacked them, and killed people.
Sure, and I understand that it is not necessarily the show's purpose for us to sympathize with them. I agree that it fully supports the story and themes. But I don't have to like them for it.
By the same token, Rick agreed to go to war against Negan and the Saviors without ever meeting them. That doesn't work out so well.
@NapoleonWilson That's also true in the comics.
Trying to abandon Alexandria was a low point for him.
He did say "we'll come back later or something", but he was clearly intent on getting Carl to safety and using the people who happened to be with him at the time to make that happen.
Everyone else was secondary.
And he literally chopped his girlfriend's hand off to save Carl.
He's less aggressive and ruthless in the comics now, but he's also a cripple with one hand and a busted leg, so he can't be as aggressive as he was.
@NapoleonWilson Since we found out she is uncomfortable with killing and has been keeping count of her victims, she's killed another 50% of her total prior to that point.
And if she stayed with the group, she'd have to kill a fraction of the total enemy force, whereas on her own, she has to kill everyone herself.
But I still think she's a great character, a brilliant actor, and an absolutely gorgeous woman.
TL;DR: Yes.
