I guess the 'Lords of karma' (the Lipika) would determine and sort it all out, for surely justice would prevail. I agree with you that any one act often carries with it good and bad!
The idea that *any* time you kill is bad is perhaps true, but oftentimes it is a *necessary* evil to uphold dharma. Maharishi says of killing, Gita Ivs36, "The act of killing *as such* is sinful." Notice the *qualification*, for surely later on he advises Arjuna to follow his dharma. (Which was to kill to uphold dharma).
