I want everyone who protects Finn to look at themselves in the mirror and ask "Did I honestly get behind someone who coldbloodedly murdered 18 children, women and elderly people?

In cold blood implies intent. But like the previous poster said (and confirmed by writers) he had PTSD. You could see he was showing signs of anxiety rapid breaths, sweating, jittery/shaking and then open fire at "shadows" when he was surprised. Which is petty much exactly what we seen in Jasper scene at the bridge, only worse.

I want you to stand there, ask those questions and then answer me this. Do you really like the person you have become?

I like this exercise. Lets try it based on your initial premise for:


 * Jasper: After getting speared by grounders, Jasper distrust for the grounder led him to looses his nerves and he opens fire killing several grounders.
 * Finn suffers from case of PTSD, looses his nerves and gun down 18 villagers in TonDC.
 * Clarke cold-bloodedly decides the fate of 250 warriors, children, women and elderly in TonDC.

(Besides, when did he ever apologize to anyone who deserved to hear it for what he did?) I believe he did so in the bunker scene with Clarke. And later so when he excepted his fate.
