None of that made since since the human thing is to run away from a fight and really run once someone is proven to be tougher than you. Most people do not come back with a gun or wait outside with one. That is complete hogwash. The rare incident heard on the news is precisely that, rare.
The problem we face and have to change in this society is perception of what is right and/or acceptable. In a society that is quickly moving away from playing outside and human interaction we must make efforts to reinforce the rules. TV, movies, and comics now many times more than not glorify violence without context and plays down any aspects of honor and humility. It shows the cool guy resorting to violence quickly and without regard for others when the easiest thing would have been to walk away call the cops and nothing lost.
We have to stop allowing everything to be acceptable just because some idiot says it’s his right to be an idiot. We must (and I don’t like saying this) step backwards to a time when society as whole looked at somethig as wrong and deemed it wrong, and prevented society from being disrupted by it, either by local law or by simply ostricizing the offender until he or she complied and assimilated.
Murder rate goes down from there. Yes that sounds harsh, and simplistic and it is. I am not writing a thesis here, just making social comentary.
