    For example, many might want to murder someone like Putin solely because they hate him.

    At that point I think we have to give the credit to hate as being the motivator. The love might have lead to the hate, but I don’t think that’s the same as it being the motivator for the killing (not if we’re attributing it “soley” to hate).

    So I think even in trying to give an example of “killing for love” we switched teams halfway through. The love may have lead to the hate, but hate did the heavy lifting.
