    Nice but I always found glorification and excitement with violence jarring. Too many people have this righteous justice fetish where they just look for an excuse to shoot someone. Somehow most are from USA but it could just be a coincidence.

    Be like faramir “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” Violence and its tools isn’t to be excited about in itself. It just sometimes is a morbid reality when all else fails.

    Too many people would want to kill that thief excited to try out their new glock and too many people would applaud the doer.
