I'm baffled as to what you see as a connection.
Promoting violence, whether real or fictional, large-scale or small scale, or anything in-between, in the news or on TV, especially if it is unnecessary, is not usually a good idea or answer to problems in a village, town, city or country. That seems to cover everything from Emmerdale village to Paris city, from one extreme to the other. This is the connection I was trying to explain before. There are other ways of telling a story or solving real-life problems than by using violence.

I've given my ideas, others will have theirs. They may be the same, they may be different. That's what a having balanced discussion is all about. Agreeing to disagree is part of doing that.
