Most obvious: He invented the bomb that killed Prim. It's not the problem that it was Prim specifically. He couldn't have known. But if it wasn't Prim it'd be hundreds of innocent children.
He was emotionally manipulative to get Katniss to like him. Example: "I knew you'd do that. Because I'm in pain." This is a) true and b) evil. The definition of manipulative.
He only saw the world in black and white. Are you from the Capitol? Evil. Are you a rebel? Good. There is no pure good or pure evil, and you should be able to judge if you're willing to act on the shade of gray you're going to.
He didn't care about human life. This ties with the first point but I want to add something else. One of his first quotes: "You know how to hunt" "animals" "it's no different". Like it should be! You cannot just waste human lives. Killing people means one of two things: a) it messes up with your psyche or b) you have a messed up psyche. Sorry Gale but you might be number 2.
He was blinded by his hatred. I mean yes the Capitol is horrible. As Gale said "We're using the same rulebook Snow used to hijack Peeta." Well that makes you no better than the enemy! Be a bit more humane at least. The rulebook you're using is an immoral one.
He was overly jealous . I mean how dare she not love me back? How dare she kiss another man for survival? Even when I have never ever proposed the idea to her that I love her? Movie fans might say that he realised he loved her during the 74th Hunger Games. This is wrong, he did about 6 months before when Darius tried to pay for some of Katniss' game with a kiss. Apparently, Gale got jealous and he realised then that he cares about her romantically.

The bombs at the end of Mockingjay were dropped by the parachutes they used in the Games. That makes things worse, and it shows Coin's sinister nature even more. Why'd she do that? Did she want Katniss to connect the bombs with the Games, and in extension Snow, even more? Or did she want to foreshadow that the end of the war and Snow's tyranny would not mark the end of the games but rather a turntable? Or did she want to show Katniss that all of this was happening because of her doings in the arena?

New fanfic recommendation: Keep Fighting by omgg8764 on ff.net. It's one of the classic "if Peeta wasn't hijacked" fics, which I love, and the first time you read it it's fucking stressful and the second it's hilarious how stressed you were. So, out of context plot: Gale took the saying "I'd kill for you" a bit too literally, a very weird ship, Snow trolling, Coin is an ass, a bit more trolling but from ths post-coin rebels, too many deaths, a bit of Coin's backstory.
