This is on par with the Joker for “reasons the rule against heroes killing is stupid.”
Seriously, if a guy who has already committed murder provides a roadmap for how he plans to do it again and is perfectly capable of executing the plan, what more do you need?
The problem with the Reverse Flash is that his time-travel shenanigans mean that you never really know when you're dealing with him. Is this him on his first outing? Or is he already done killing everyone you know, but you managed to defeat him and fix everything and now he's showing up for round two or fifty? He's traveled across timelines so much that he's effectively immortal. He's been killed, but still shows up because the one that Barry killed was him on a different jaunt in time. There's absolutely nothing linear about the Reverse Flash.
Shame they don't jump to the point before he got his powers and push him into a woodchipper
