I didn't ask you about my civil rights, I asked you about your civil or human rights. This means that civil or human rights that you have already accepted as being threatened. I'll ask the question again and I would appreciate it you would answer it directly : If your human or civil rights are being attacked and your legal means haven't yielded results for ~20 years, what do you do next?
I understood what you meant. You (in the scenario) are driven to the conclusion that there is no other alternative but violence. I insisted on flipping it on you, so that we do not forget this part of the variable.
I am of the disposition to not like protesters to begin with. I find protesting beneathe civilized behavior. I do not see myself, ever, under any circumstances, resorting to violent protest. I would have to traverse so many barriers in my character to begin with.
To me the onus is on the attacker to convince the hegemony that their actions are justifiable. More often than not, they are *not* justifiable.
