At least Felicity thought it through… which is more than Barry has ever done when someone has threatened his loved ones.

Wasn't a criminal… except for the kidnapping and assault.

You're forgetting that the particle wave explosion created a ring of charm-spin quarks that encompasses Central City. These particles create a tachyon timesink — a sort of local "time micro-climate" — that confines any changes to the timeline made within Central City to Central City.
