Violence is a tool and like many tools it must be used correctly and at the right times. However, it’s also not the only tool in the toolbox in which there are many.

No worries! Hope you feel better soon!
Disagree that violence doesn’t work, especially organised.
I meant the self driving ones. Apologies for not clarifying.
Sure, but if they are allowed…
