- ozr 3y agoI don't think so. I'm not suggesting the use of violence as a deterrent[0]. My point is that the human urge to enact violence in response to wrongdoing has to be satisfied. If it's not satisfied by the state, it'll lead to mob justice and vigilantism. [0] I think in many contexts it is, but that's distinct from my earlier post.
