People keep saying stuff like school shooters should stop targeting their classmates with violence and solve society's problems, but violence never solves anything long-term.
history begs to differ; a majority of change is derived from violence
changed =/= solved.
Killing people definitely "changes" things, but how often does it "solve" anything? How often does it make things worse? Shit's kinda gray/grey, but it seems like most killing is bad overall.
If we were to refuse to take action because the outcome won't be a perfect solution, we're doomed to just never take action and continue being pissed on.
