Also, just the idea of a would-be rapist getting blown away by his intended victim fills me with infinite glee.

This sort of stuff here scares me. The sickos that rape are mental cases too. Part of the entire problem is that society glorifies some violence when it is justified. Dirty Harry "Go ahead punk make my day" type of stuff that trains millions of viewers to substitute:

All violence is horrible.

With

"Unjustified" violence is horrible.

How many posts here wish harm upon perpetrators of violence. Unfortunately the mirror principle still applies here. If you can condone violence in some circumstances you are very close to the mindset of the rapist, murderer, etcetera who has his/her own preset conditions which justify the use of violence.

The difference then lies only in the "conditionals". You feel infinite glee in seeing someone offed as long as they "deserved it". I see only violence and its glorification and the seeds for yet more violence because the wrong maxim is being taught.

Suicide bombers probably feel infinite glee as the infidels' body parts are spread across the market place and believe their mass murder is justified and endorsed by others.

All violence is horrible and even when "necessary" should never be glorified or made into a heroic act.

We have a bad habit in the west of glorifying ALL violence, whether done by good guys or bad guys. The result is a more violent culture.

As for gun ownership is swell and fine but I generally feel far safer without one nearby. When one understands frequency relationship one realizes that all things broadcast a signal. A packing person broadcast such even when its concealed. If one develops this sensitivity one can tell who is packing because this signal is quite strong. So when armed, everyone will consciously or subconsciously treat you differently. Some will be fearful, others act more agitated, over-friendly, etcetera. Everytime I've had a gun stuck in my face, I've been glad I was not armed - not vice-versa, because it allowed me to cancel the incoming signal.

Everything is energy. Learning to manipulate such gives you mastery over all things negative that come unto you.

We create the killers and rapers by glorifying ANY violence.
