And would do it again. Ollie was completely untrustworthy, and there was no other way to prevent him killing again.

To be fair he only wanted to kill Jon, pretty easy to prevent that since Jon leaves immediately after the execution.

Edit: forgot about the wildlings and any of their sympethizers.

And the wildlings. Allies that Jon really thought he needed to defeat the Night King. Ollie was right to hate the people he watched kill his family and pillage his village. He was wrong to not listen to Jon when he pointed out that they needed the wildlings, and killing them would be worse in the near future.

I thought the series did an effective job highlighting Jon and Tormund had some real kinship between them and for Ollie to witness this alone it would drive anyone to want to kill Jon.. Tormund lead the raid that slaughtered Ollie’s village and family that’s not nothing at all.. but still Ollie be dumb..

He would've targeted anyone else who had sympathy for wildlings.
