97. I take it that you are NOT an advocate of non-violent alternatives.
A poster stated (I'm paraphrasing) that the forceful oppression of free speech simply is a pressure-cooker for the explosion of violence.

I believe any violence waged against fundamental civil and/or human rights is an invitation to and incitation of a cycle of violence.

Maybe you would feel perfectly great about being subjected to physical abuse for throwing a snowball at someone's car or for another's actions in throwing a can of pop.
