I think people are hating Rossiu a little too much. Seriously, it's all part of the plot. There has to be someone to make wrong decisions at the wrong time. And you have Rossiu. Don't forget this arc is about how Simon fails to do anything right and Rossiu struggling to pick up the pieces.

Simon did little governing as he is more of a laid back person, Rossiu did everything else and gets stressed to keep the peace for 7 years.

Simon's love Nia betrayed him and he just went wtf and had no idea what to do. People are stupid and see him as the cause for their sudden predicament. They want blood and do needless rioting, Rossiu sentenced Simon to appease them. Extreme but logical and a quick temporary solution.

Simon tried to be Gar and destroyed Mugan but the result caused more damage. This just gave more reason for Rossiu to believe that he is right.

When Nia announced the moon to be crashed onto Earth, Rossiu's panic meter rose to the highest because at that time, nobody knew that it was possible to do anything about it. So desperate times call for desperate measures and Rossiu made the decision to abandon Earth.

Even in space, even after Simon is inside the moon, there's still a tiny chance that Simon might blow up the moon. So would any rational person bet thousands of lives on just chance? Rossiu already gave up on Simon's Gar factor and he wasn't about to make a risk with thousands of lives in his hands.

Looking at the above points, everything falls into place. Sure Rossiu is being an ass. But circumstances forced him to. And yeah there could have been better ways to solve some of the above problems but the problem is, could anyone have done better at all in Rossiu's position? Especially when Yoko is not around, Simon is being troubled by Nia and Kittan and co. are still the same hooligans 7 years ago?

I know people are pissed that Rossiu sentenced Simon to death, but the way the anime quickly flowed by, there's no proof that Rossiu really wanted him to die right then or just make Simon stay in prison until everything is over.
