Dude, that's creepy.

Sometimes I feel that if you don't protest peacefully, then you don't accomplish anything, because you're no different than the people using force to stop your protest.

By that logic, killing someone in self-defence is equally bad to killing someone randomly on the street. It's not always just about what you do, but also why you do it.
