Fair question. I think my answer to your points are located in part 2 of my argument in the OP : "When all or most nonviolent means of protest have failed to secure the human or civil rights that have been threatened." In the case of the store owner, he may call the police or his insurance company to get justice or money to pay for the damage. He may even get money from the public to put his store back together. And, if those do not work - if he has no constructive means of defending his livilhood - then violence may be justified.
I asked that this sort of anti-intellectual rhetoric not be brought into this thread. Please honor that. Thanks.
Rest assured that neither the police nor the insurance company are able to provide justice. Can you provide us examples of an owner being repaid by society for injuries, or loss of their home, business or property, due to criminal acts? Money cannot replace everything even with the best of insurance settlements. What did society provide to D. Wilson beaten by, or the shop owner robbed by, M. Brown?
