>well, I don't know what to tell you other than that history does not look kindly on partisans.
"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing."
If the only way to stop an act of violence is with an act of violence, allowing it to happen in the first place, as you would condemn the response of violence, ends up being the greater evil.

Saying it is to be 'partisan' to call out injustice is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
History has already condemned those who stepped back and did nothing.
