In the past it would seem, in some abstract way, understandable as cultures had conflict in establishing rule or territorial acquisitions. Today it is hard to understand in the context of a civilized nation. I see in the video a primitive sort of behavior, unwarranted and inexcusable. This is murder, violence at it's peak, street violence not different than that of any jungle warfare. I also see a tendency in youth of becoming numb to the concept of violence as a result of years of exposure by various forms of what is oddly enough called entertainment. Is violence pushed on society like cigarettes and alcohol? Should we continue to allow portrayals of violence on the screen because violence exists? I don't understand why they are making movies and television series based on despicable characterization, it's almost like glorifying the behavior, setting up role models for dummies to identify with. We have lost our sense of abhorrence towards this behavior and are heading in the wrong direction as a society? I'm not sure that we will ever be able to weed out the violent behavior that is inherent in our species.
