It’s unfortunate but in a lot of cases it’s the only thing that will work. Peaceful protest can help when protesting against a group that could be viewed as rational, if not, most people won’t just lie down if the conditions they are protesting don’t improve, and more drastic action becomes one of the few options left.

The title of the post could've also been written "sometimes, murder is good". I don't think that's anything to defend just because sometimes violence has resulted in a better situation later.

People here agitating for political violence are acting like this legislation is something like police reform or oil production rates when it's actually just a relatively small thing which won't negatively affect anyone in power and is generally considered popular.

He'd probably have got it into the public dialog with a good pop song too.

Honestly the reason this is interesting news is because it's so uncommon, normally governments and the public shift away from whatever violent radicals support because they don't want to be associated or don't want to appear weak.
