Responding to violence with violence is a natural knee-jerk reaction. And to most people it appears to work, especially if one can comfortably do so with minimal acceptance of responsibility for those actions of violence.Typical rationalizations for violence as preferred option:1. Kill a person? Bury the body. Done. Let the orphans feed themselves. Totally no way this can bite me in the arse.2. Broke your bones? Not my bones, so not my problem. Can't prove I did it so you don't have a leg to stand on, literally.3. Oh hey, eye for an eye. Because equal and immediate retribution is all these idiots understand. I don't have the time/patience to talk to idiots.4. Kharma / they had it coming / It was god's will that I got angry and crippled someone on the street (pretty sure the last one is a sacrilege)5. I have the law on my side, it says I can beat you to death with this stick. It's rule of thumb, bitch.^Feel free to tear those apart.In the bigger scheme of things, yeah, there are other methods one can try. Will it 'work'? Not immediately, maybe not at all... could even get worse.-But does that alone justify not even trying other ways?

I.....can't think of anybody who justifies anything in a way that remotely resembles any of your 'typical' rationalizations. I mean..... I guess three, but that's the entire subject of the thread, and you don't have time for it, so.......
