2. If there were no glory in these acts

eventually people might stop wanting to do/be that way. At least a vast majority of "thinking" people. So maybe we should start shunning these films for starters. If we refuse to give them our money to see these (box office losers) maybe they will stop making them. The intent for making such a movie may have been to expose the fallacy of the glory we afford this type of heinous practice but it seems to be serving as a rallying cry for Grand Theft Auto armchair heroes/thugs instead. So if we reject such "entertainment" maybe we can start to correct our problem.

Money talks, apparently, so if we starve the movie makers of cash for glorifying this POS, we make a loud statement. This can work both ways, rather than throwing money at something we can also withhold it, which is also considered free speech. In theory that is.
