Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We've never advocated violence; violence is inflicted upon us. But we do believe in self-defense for ourselves and for black people.
When you shoot someone who is fleeing, it's not self-defense. It's an execution.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.
Obviously I'm not a violent person; I don't like violence, but I would definitely go into defending myself if the situation arose.
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
In some cases non-violence requires more militancy than violence.
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.
Those who 'abjure' violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf.
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.
You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it.
