dear el-rey,

sorry it took me so long to answer this.

I feel that there's nothing wrong with people reacting in a violent way to the much harder and tougher violence they're exposed to on a daily basis, whether it be from companies or governments (both have similar intrests in our Western capitalist societies).

I'm not saying it's the perfect way, cos it DOES mean more risks, more potential danger for the people involved.

However, it's perverted when government officials or company CEO's denounce 'agression' or 'violence' by 'common people', when at the same time they're 1000's of times more violent every day through the IMF, World Bank, etcetera.

As you put it : it's 'selfdefense', not agression.

I'd love to talk more about this, but I haven't read all replies yet, and I'm reading a lot of books right now, so I need some time to think this over and come back later, okay ?

Hope I said something useful.
