It just seems to be our culture. We can visualize ourselves as heroes. The one who shoots the rampaging shooter, the guy who blows away the intruder in his home, the law-abiding citizen who doesn't need the threat of torture and grisly death to keep him in line but knows other people do, etc.
When it comes to guns, violence, killing, life or death situations, or basically being able to straight up murder someone I really think our populace is living in a fantasy world. Then again, I'm just a cynic.
I just read a story about a teacher in New York who got fined $300 for showing her middle school class an ISIS beheading video.
We want to get outraged and get revenge...we don't want to see it.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
