Columbus didn't have justification for killing the Natives... However, his reasons for doing so may have seemed like justification to him.
1. Columbus was sailing for the spanish at the time. His ultimate goal was to bring back money, gold, jewels, spices etc. to his funders.
2. Columbus thought he was going to land in China... but he didn't (anger management issues?)
I'm sorry that my second point isnt so helpful, maybe the bg info i gave you can help.
