Thing is, characters in Tokyo Ghoul slaughter other fodder characters left and right. We, as readers, don't judge them for that. We mostly judge them by their personalities and appearances (or how they are presented). Shio and Rikai were nice children with likeable personalities (albeit killing machines). Hajime on the other hand... Well, he was supposed to be a villain and a jerk.

Sure, we are still hypocrites, but we can't help it, since this is what the story and the underlying moral concept was going for. We are supposed to feel bad about Shio's and Rikai's passing and feel good about Hajime's.
