the question isn't when is violence is okay. the question is "what authority gives permission for violence?" i ask the same in greater detail back in the parent thread.
I believe that the modern state is predicated on the idea that the people give up their right to commit violence, and are given it back in very limited circumstances.
personally, i believe violence to be remarkably ineffective in most situations. moral concerns aside, it has shown itself to have distinct limitations in creating positive outcomes.
