Um not quite. That first grounder he killed- One Eye he did it because he thought if that grounder escaped he could warn the others and thus everyone in the rescue party and maybe even the captives (what remained of the 100) might have been killed. He had no idea that one eye was lying especially since this guy had Clarke's watch and only said they where from the village he was banished from once he tortured him, so it seems unlikely that he wanted just to see that village get destroyed or he wold have revealed it right off the bat and not stayed silent.

In the village he had detained those grounders. He stomped on that woman's head because they had found the jackets of the remaining 100 and it makes for a strong case that the 100 might have been there. However he didn't kill her or even harm her. He gunned down the grounders who ran starting with that old man. In such a situation if people run he doesn't know if they want to run away or attack him. If the attack he would obviously have to fire to save himself. But even if they run its logical to assume they might go for reinforcements and this again could get Finn and the remaining 100 killed. Also Nyko the grounder told his people to stay put and not run out of the enclosure. If they listened the massacre would not have occurred.

Finally while a lot of people he killed where children and elderly in grounder society children are warriors take for example Tris and that boy Finn gunned down who had fought against the Reapers in Reapercussions. So in grounder society they are warriors as well and not children or civilians, so this is hypocritical. If any of those people got to position where they could fight Finn in hand to hand combat and with numbers being against him it would end badly for him. None of them would hesitate to kill him. In order to keep his advantage of having a firearm he had to keep them at a distance. It was actually an unfortunate series of misunderstandings that led to domino effect which spiralled out of control.

Furthermore if the roles had been reversed and the grounders had imprisoned members of the 100 or ark and they ran like that they would have hesitated to kill them?
