Sounds pretty legit to me. It's fucked people need to rob but you come to take someone's things and you're naive if you don't think violence is a potential outcome.
It's not the taking the things that's the issue, it's that the method of taking the things inherently comes with the either implicit or explicit threat of bodily harm or violence in order for the criminal to get what he wants. Nobody's going to break into your house for your stuff, or leap out of a dark alley and demand your wallet, and when you tell them "no" just shrug and walk away. They're going to shove a gun in your face or try to beat you up.
If you show up with the intent of employing force, you absolutely should not be surprised if people employ force against you in turn.
That, and if you want to stick it to The Man there are much more suitable targets than victimizing individual people who just as likely have it as tough as you do. Go knock over a Walmart or something. For fuck's sake.
Currently, of course. Point is, people can be better. On both sides. And instead of nurturing our compassion and collective support, we praise violence and let continue the wheel to roll which has already destroyed countless of lives.
