No, I can't force myself to kill. I'm also way too analytical in my mindset, I'd just rationalize-attribute the killers mindset to that of mental illness or something that would make sense regarding the human condition. I've felt society's pressure on multiple occasions, some of the weaker minds/less fortunate can not deal with or accept it. If I were to kill their families, would that make me any better than them? Honestly, it would not. What would you solve, the savagery that horrified you must be reciprocated on unsuspecting wives/kids who are, well, none the wiser to their "man's" unlawful nature? That was the very thing that in the first place inspired me to take "revenge" or whatever lame concept you'd liken it to.
I remember when my next-door neighbor poisoned my cat, who would go sit under their porch. I was obviously devastated when I found this out, and did the right thing by notifying the authorities so they could be properly dealt with (because they were in the mindset to harm a defenseless creature), but would I personally want to kill/maim their dog? No, as much as the thing would get on my nerves, taking it out on the dog as opposed to the perpetrators would be infeasible. Not saying I would actually take it out on them personally, but why go for someone or something that had absolutely no say in the matter at all? Eye for an eye, pet for a pet... I mean, that just doesn't even seem logical.
I'd have liked to have thought we'd gotten past this notion of revenge, or brutish behavior that we know we can quell easily. It just does not need to happen. A cohesive society does not need that. After viewing this film it was apparent to me that, although I somewhat knew, barbaric behavior is still sanctioned and condoned for "rep" or "territory" or "tradition." It's wholeheartedly disappointing...
Its a jungle out there.
