Yes. A foundational tenet of the Left: Violence is never the answer to anything.
They preach that violence is NEVER the answer, inculcate it into brains of mush, brains of mush that somehow fail to register that the Leftist invocation to refrain from violence is a one-way-ratchet meant only to apply to their enemies, and not to them.
That is a cleavage point between Leftism and Conservatism.
Conservatives know full well that sometimes, violence is the only answer, and the appropriate one.
(Leftists know this too, that violence is sometimes an appropriate response, but...they don’t want their victims to THINK they do.)
