This is based on the very typical shallow view of TV and movie characters in plot. Sometimes violence in media is for the purpose of parody or commentary. It's not necessarily meant to be instructive or even excuse that type of behavior. 

As in the movie Fight Club the Tyler Durden character is not meant to be imitated. The whole movie is a social commentary.
