You seem to have missed the point. The issue at hand has nothing to do with Magnum's character, or whether a good buddy got blown away; the point is, what Magnum did was ILLEGAL! And that illegal act was presented as somehow at least understandable, if not desirable. No wonder your cities aren't safe to walk, if this is the way you're training your youth. What Magnum did puts him on the same level with the Russian agents who murdered Sadat(if true), or anyone else who indulges his quest for justice outside the law. The Klaus Barbi example simply does not apply; he's being turned over to trial, not summarily executed. In my opinion, the whole episode was despicable, and dangerous. But I guess Canadians have always had more respect and confidence in their legal systems than the Americans. not afraid to bait fascists, joanne
