Violence and the threat of violence is an inexorable part of any system of law since forever. All the people bleating “this is unacceptable!” know this, they just don’t want things to get out of their control.
The thing is that all major participants in the system have to endorse the “No violence” rule, because the entire point of the system is a monopoly on violence by the state - ie not loons with an AR-15.
The OTHER thing is that participants who don’t care if they break the system so long as they rule the ashes don’t have to do any such thing. They can endorse violence when they want to, and condemn it when they want to.
