guy that was getting framed (yes, spoilers here if you haven't seen it)

spoilers about the whole story, so MOVE ON if needed

ok, so, the character that was being framed, then got beat up.....
Reacher was describing how he was all pent up over not getting to kill people and took it out on 4 guys.... 4 guys that were at some rape party or something. wasn't there a blurb near the end where the framed guy admits he killed those guys BECAUSE they were raping women and children or something, making his initial killings almost deserved?

Or did I read too much into it? I thought there was a scene for that, but the recent watching didn't seem to cover that. ALSO, the swear words were all obviously changed to PG. So maybe this TV version "corrected" the script for time??

The original was only PG-13 and didn’t have all that much swearing in it. Maybe a “shit” or two and a single F-bomb.

And Barr did NOT know that his Baghdad victims were rapists. He just wanted to kill someone, anyone, “and the who of it never once enters [Barr’s] mind.”

That’s why Barr was so broken up at the end. He already knew he was capable of cold-blooded murder; he’d done it before. He honestly thought he’d done it again ... and Reacher would be coming for him.

It seems like you're the only one to put up spoiler warnings. Others just don't care if they ruin the movie for some.

Oh sorry forgot to mention:

This isn't a big spoiler.

We're shown that Charlie's the shooter at the very start of the film.

The very first time we see Barr, we see that he's NOT Charlie (when he writes, "Get Jack Reacher")
