Exactly.

While I will never condone what the $@#$#heads have done, and I hope they get what they deserve, what Yorick and machinehead have said is completely true, how can we ever hope to get anywhere if we react to violence with violence?

Now I don't know the perfect solution, I don't have any idea what will make these people stop what they do (except maybe a bullet, but that isn't solving the problem)

I guess some people just have violence and a stupid sense of "pride/honour" built into them through childhood that cannot be removed.
