Then again, in another debate it is argued that violence is permitted to protect against a government that harms your rights...
Whether violence is justified or rights are harmed has always been a subjective thing... So... yeah.
As you'll understand though, I find the idea of violent rebellion over such case bad per definition. But even more if it cannot be solidified that it is done for the reason it is claimed to be (ie in this case racial murder).
What though if they rose up because the government won't arrest someone who harmed someone else's right to live to at least await trial or needing to make bail? How many people are locked up awaiting trial before it is even 100% clear that they killed someone?
