You don’t seem to have much of an appreciation for logic but then again if your point is that you’d rather perpetuate the violence with the criminals I see.

It’s unfortunate but this will continue to happen as long as people remain underprivileged.
If YOU are not part of the solution you’re part of the problem, there is no room for neutral ground.
