I think of the position as one who is violent as hell against bullies.
In the long run the rest of the kids on the playground are safer.
God help the bullies, for I will stop them if I can.

Anyone who slays innocents *is* a threat, for *I* am innocent.
Yes I claim the right to self defense. Furthermore I claim the right
to defend those who have done nothing wrong, even if the individuals
do not themselves claim the right to self defense. Amara, Anders,
Samantha, Jeff Davis, Damien, all the other outspoken pacifists, they
have not installed US troops in Saudi, they have not mistreated a single
Palestinian, they have not sent christian missionaries to the middle east.
I claim the right to defend them, even if they do not claim the right to
self defense.
