I would consider this guy awesome if he had spared the killing (a not especially great punishment) and instead, robbed their houses to recouped his costs. Considering he clearly had a deathwish I believe the gumption to do just about anything would not be in question here. I definitely would have understood if he felt the need to cleanse his buttocks with the cool refreshing texture of an enemies' toothbrush.
That to me, is worthy of applause.
