You sota answered your question by yourself.
Violence is so in these days. You get dosed by your music, tv and movies then go forth and perpetuate.
You have to look at how role models are portrayed in pop culture to understand what is being advocated sureing a certain time.
For instance, in a less violent era, circa 1980-1990 you saw leading characters taking the higher route, bullys were looked upon like they had social problems etc. Music (mainstream and pop) had positive messages. Rap was actually bugged out and lighthearted and positive political. Fast forward to today. The Karate Kid is a grade a pussy, if your not rapping thug your soft, and we have over 400 channels showing extreme violence in most cases rarely seen for more than 2 minutes at a time in past R rated cinema.
Like you said, you want to bust someones nose, so does everyone else.
I consider myself to be ultra tolerant. I've been in many situations where I could have done harm to others who probably deserved it but chose not to. Most stimuli in society and the media is so dark these days that it doesnt take much to find a persons breaking point.
