I don't condone violence.
Yet when someone is convicted of a violent act it's not rhetorical violence. There's proof given to make a conviction.

@DeWayfarer It's not, mostly because of platitudes. But they definitely should be.

@FoxyQueen You have to draw a line somewhere. A legal reason is the best we can do.
I'm not sure I'd call violent rhetoric rhetorical violence.

@MistyCee No worries. Violence is something that is still rather disputed. There are 9 forms of violence and most think if it isn't physical, it isn't violence, but that simply isn't true. Violence is a force that is used in a myriad of ways to gain control and power over anyone who cannot withstand the violence. This means systems and institutions can be inherently violent while not creating a physical danger or direct danger. It is also not a concept commonly discussed. It took me a while to understand the various types of violence.
