Wemlinger was a ticking time bomb and a murderous fanatic waiting to explode regardless of the circumstances. Nick and Hank both knew it.
Since Nick and Hank flat out told Renard about Wemlinger all three knew. Nick tried to warn the Marshalls, but Renard blew Nick off and left the Marshalls to die.

I honestly didn't see any of this when I watched. Renard knew the suspect was Wessen, but they deal with Wessen all the time. When Nick confirmed it, he did call in the "death threat" so that security would be beefed up; unfortunately, the follow through with that didn't come soon enough.
If I'm remembering correctly, Renard/Hank/Wu only had the suspicion that the suspect was Wessen at first, then Nick confirmed, then Renard called in the "death threat." At no point in that scenario did Renard know that the suspect [i]knew[i/] that anyone else knew that he was Wessen and up until that point, he hadn't been violent with anyone else, correct? He hadn't given any indication that he would do anything in retaliation for the charges other than call his lawyer, right?
I agree that he should've taken precautions immediately, especially once the other jurisdiction said they were coming for him, but I don't think he simply didn't care what happened. It's not in his best interest for a Wessen suspect to kill a bunch of people and escape police custody either; it leaves everyone involved exposed to further investigation and questioning. What's more, Nick could've been way quieter about it, rather than tip off the suspect; instead, he could've delayed the suspect's being moved until the security was beefed up or pulled one of the officers to the side to give that warning rather than do it in front of Wemlinger or something like that.
