When people talk about violence I think they are considering it in the "damaging" sense, rather than "violating" or "abusing". It is my opinion that if someone believes in an ideal of "good" then they also have an idea of what "bad" is, and should consequently feel some sort of duty to support "good". There are two sides of this, supporting the good and damaging the bad.

Some people believe that damaging anything, even bad things or people, is itself wrong. In my mind that is a violation of principles. There is nothing inherently wrong about damaging something because morality is a construct rather than a natural law.
