As said before, I'm not saying he isn't responsible for the consequences of his actions, only that calling him "garbage" may be going too far in this situation.
But based on the other comments you made, that feeling seems to be coming from a misunderstanding of why he fired in the first place, and whether he needed to do anything at all.
Missing that, I think, misses an important aspect of his character that was communicated by this and the previous chapter. Whether we call that "garbage," or not is secondary at this point.
"He took a dangerous situation as an opportunity to pad his ego and unnecessarily, nearly killed two people in the process." If we can agree there, what should we call that? In my experience, we typically call people worse things for similar actions.
We'll see if he even takes responsibility for his actions, considering what this chapter and the previous took time to communicate to us about his character and what he's capable of doing to protect his fragile ego.
