One thing is not knowing killing is bad. That doesn't mean you're a psycho but rather that you are more along the lines of an innocent who never had the oportunity to learn the difference between right and wrong, bad and good, or whose parents were so shitty they never teached them. After all, if you don't know something is bad, you wouldn't think it's bad while doing it.

Another thing is knowing is bad yet still doing it for the hell of it, not caring about the consequences. People like that are more in line with psychopathy, or have a very boring life. Society's laws dictate that Thou Shalt Not Kill, and going against the established laws, produces an stimulating feeling in one. Like, if you have a boss you hate you get up and give him a "reason you suck" speech, you would feel great, even if you know doing that would be bad...for your career at least.

A different thing is when someone knows killing is bad, but does it anyway because they believe that it's the only reasonable choice on the matter. It's less psychopathy and more a different perspective regarding Justice and Revenge and all that. After all, some people would send a serial killer to jail to rot, while others would kill him so he doesn't get the chance to escape his punishment, and of course others would take punishment into their own hands, leading to Hostel-like torture and slow executions. Whether it's actually wrong or right depends on how you look at it.

Prejudice against humanity is a completely different thing. Whether one hates humans or not, it doesn't mean they are a psychopath in any way. It doesn't even mean they are insane. It's more like typical, irrational hate. If you hate X, whatever X does will be antagonized in your mind. You hate PewDiePie and he donated to charity? You think he did it for popularity and good impressions, not because he actually cared about it, even if you don't have any evidence on the matter.

As such, hating humans, even if you know there are worthy exceptions out there, you would still have a more negative view on humanity. Basically "everyone is a jerk inside until they prove otherwise". You keep that mindset and only take it off when refering to someone you know it's an exception.
