It was dumb, but it kinda makes sense. Sasha knew they were going to use her to make Rick and the others complacent.
'Hey, we've got your friend. Don't do anything or she dies.' Then when they lay their weapons down, Negan would've made Rick chose someone to kill. At that point, if Rick refused Negan would have just killed more people.
By killing herself, Sasha knew that took her out of the decision making process. Negan wouldn't have any leverage (of course, she didn't know the Garbage Pail Kids were turning).
But, yeah, wasn't very good. Rick talked big, but came off looking like an impotent idiot. Again. At this point, if I was the Family I'd be asking Maggie to take over. Twice the badass, half the crazy and anyone would make better decisions. If he really wanted to send a message — Negan or no — he should have just shot the Mullet in one knee.
And, yeah, the writing was just dumb. Dwight wants to kill Negan? Then why the hell didn't he shoot him during the fire fight? At least twice he was near Negan, he could have put a few rounds in him. Or when they're leaving and Negan gives them the finger. You've got several automatic weapons. No one can spray a giant truck from 20-40 yards? Last week they're picking off walkers one by one in a wooded area... now they couldn't make a clear shot.
Aaaand the double cross just seems out of character. Rick goes from naive at the start of the show to leery to not trusting anyone. Now he just doles out automatic rifles and invites in a bunch of strangers?
and really how many times has rick said he doesn't want to lead these people anymore... Heck hes not really wanted to be a leader since the prison it just keeps getting handed to or forced on him.
at this point in the series Carl has more nuts than rick

Dwight himself said you cant just kill Negan (they are all Negan) you gotta take them all out. And hes waiting for his opportunity. He doesn't want to just kill negan he wants to wipe out the saviors and their lifestyle. shooting negan might have accomplished the small goal and end with Dwight being dead and unable to help any longer while someone else takes negans place (maybe someone not as fun to watch or as reasonable)
whats that saying never eliminate a dictator unless you have arrangements with his successor

In addition to just the soldiers negan had at his base.. .Remember when marchonne was taking the one savior woman to show her were negan was and they came to that huge field full of saviors? the lady told her she could turn back now and hid the truck or proceed and die.
