EMOTIONS: RIGHT v. LEFT in Entertainment

Since around age 4, many decades ago, I 've delighted in movies.

I enjoy my 7 foot HDTV.

When I have seen fictional movies,
showing a homicidal maniac in a Halloween mask, or an athletic mask,
armed with a sharp agricultural instrument, maybe a pitchfork or a trowel,
sneaking up on some unsuspecting love-hungry teenagers,
or
maybe a rabidly malicious St. Bernard ( " Cujo " ) terrorizing mother n child,
I wish that the victims were well armed, in their own defense.
If thay actually DO grab a gun and open up on the bad guy,
I ( empatheticly ) feel relieved of emotional tension.
I feel emotionally frustrated when soon-to-be victims of violence are unarmed.

I LOVE nature shows: cape buffalo being hunted by lions in Africa.
I can 't help thinking, when the lion pounces,
that fleeing the scene will not save the heavy buffalo:
his survival depends upon his successfully COUNTERATTACKING the lions;
maybe a good hind kick in the jaw.


Is it DIFFERENT for collectivist-authoritarians,
who yearn to suppress freedom of self defense ?

Do liberals root for the bad guy ?

Do liberals FEEL BAD if a victim, in his desperation,
is able to grab up a gun for use against the predator ?
Do liberals loathe the philosophy of " Death Wish " with Charles Bronson n Hope Lange ?
In the rape-murder scene of his wife n daughter, in their NY apt,
I wished that thay 'd been better armed, in their own defense.
( Yeah, I know that it was the set-up scene for the rest of the movie. )

I wonder what emotions possess liberals,
when watching the same movie, showing unarmed victims.


Any thoughts of what thay think in those circumstances ?
