The writers did try to emphasize there were children and people who helped them like Vincent, Maya, and Lee. It's the age-old question of "us vs. them." The Mountain Men had a larger population so it wasn't for the greater good, like Jaha is always espousing. Then again, when it comes to survival of the human race, the Mountain Men were not good candidates since they couldn't even go outside the Mountain without dying. In a very insensitive manner of speaking, Clarke and Bellamy purged the human gene pool for the benefit of the species.
