This guy maybe keept some terrible things from happening, i admit that, but overall he killed an assload of people. nothing i'am able to get extcited about.

I hate the idea of killing people. It is a horrible thing and I hope for each individual that it is not an experience that they have to endure.

However, there is a huge difference between murder and killing. This guy saved lives by killing bad people. My guess is that it was not his intention to kill, but rather to stop them in a way that secured the lives of others.

The part that is exciting isn't that he killed others, it is that against all odds and what most would consider logic, he pushed the boundaries of a single person and personally took on a gang. It is impressive that he had the courage and skill to do so.
