When it gets down to it motive doesn't really make a murder worse, killing another human being is about as bad as it gets outside of sexual abuse of UMs.
Yes it does. "I killed him because he was terrorizing the neighborhood, raping young girls, beating up pre-schoolers, and selling drugs at the church, even, and, the police would do nothing." is distinctly better than "Oh, look, he's black." as a motive for killing someone.
If you walk in on your lover, who is doing your brother in a way that is traumatizing your dog, who really really doesn't want to be involved, while laying across a picture of your mother and making the coloring bleed out, and, you fly into a rage and kill them, it's bad. But, it's a situation that is extremely unlikely to happen again, you didn't plan on having happen, and, has to do with needing to learn self control on all sides.
If you walk into the room and your brother kills you for catching him, it is a worse murder, though in either case, the people are just as dead.
The point being, really, that someone who kills out of protecting others or out of self protection, probably won't do it again, under other circumstances and will probably feel so bad they won't want to do it again. Someone who goes out seeking a certain type of person, to abuse, to kill, is probably going to do it again, repeatedly. Even if they are seeking out criminals and killing them, they are still feeding a very dark thing inside them, that will only get worse over time and be very detrimental to society at large.
So, yes, motive does make a big difference!
