"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

Sweet child. They don't shoot people. They kidnap young boys and girls and take them to private islands to be sex toys.

Let's not forget the John Leguizamo parody of that story, The Pest.

Actually, probably best to erase it from history altogether.

John sure had a great characters moment in 1997: Spawn.

That's why Homelander was so awesome, people cheering after he murdered in front of others.

(and people thinking he's the hero)

Just the logical conclusion of the American "f you, I got mine" mentality plus moral relativism.
