From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
One thing, however, I know with certainty: violence, or the direct threat of violence, of the kind we have seen in the past few days, is totally unjustified as a response to any published word or image.
All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.

I am committed to the principle that violence is never justified as a means of ameliorating a grievance.
