13. Uhmmmm... maybe because it's a form of ENTERTAINMENT?
Whether it's the crowds at a hanging looking to see the bodies twitch in the final death throes or at a beheading to watch the blood spurt and the eyes blink on the severed head, the "blood lust" of the Good People of the Kingdom is well-chronicled.

As most combat veterans might tell you, it's a lust that's quickly sated when immersed in the insanity of war - where, at least, the 'condemend' is a matter of Death Roulette.
