violence is an evil thing, but when the guns are all in the hands of the men without respect for human rights, then men are really in trouble.
Folks who talk about no violence are always the ones who are first to call a policeman and usually they are sure there is one handy.
People have a greater tolerance for evil than for violence. If crooked gamboling, thieving and robing are covered over folks will tolerate it longer than out right violence, even when the violence may be cleansing.
