Jim however does, this a lot.  So he wants to set something up for some future plot device he writes it in early and calls back to it. He does it in Proven Guilty with Maeve and the Cantina scene in Summer Knight for instance. He's called out this irrational anger twice now and keeps throwing in references to a destroyer. And there are those missing two minutes.

However the examples you sight are examples of rational anger, not irrational anger, in the end, yes, they can make one a destroyer, but sometimes a destroyer is what is needed.

It does not seem to matter that much whether the anger is rational or irrational. It is about keeping control or loosing it.

That too, but that comes with maturity.. But there are times, like when you see the person you love gunned down and killed stupidly after she just saved hundreds of lives, you tend to lose it..  To not lose it in such a moment wouldn't be human.

Harry in the book is no longer a young man.  And killing Rudolph would have been murder. This really isn't debatable. He was going to kill Rudolph with magic just as Lea  had suggested Justin was teaching him to do. And this is in the text.

No, Harry is no longer a young man, though he is still considered a young wizard.  However watching
Rudolph gun down Murphy, who wasn't just his lover, but his friend and back up for almost all of his adult life.  In the stress of the moment,it was too much, he lost it, it was a very normal reaction, I don't think it matters much how he tried to kill him, it was just the easiest for him.. Ironic when you think about it, because you could say that Rudolph also lost it, the craziness of watching Murphy kill a giant who had been killing innocents by the hundreds, was too much, it made him insane.. He used the thing in hand that was easiest for him to get to and use... The gun that he kept his trigger finger on, and he used it.  In Harry's case, the Sword understood, it burned him to bring him back to himself, then he was ashamed for having lost it.  Wonder if anything will bring Rudolph back to reality?
