OK, some folks may have a legitimate grievance. So what? Use legitimate forms of expression. Use violence and you can expect violence in return. That dynamic applies to ALL ARMED conflict.
Bob, tell me. How would you address the FARC's grievances in Colombia, or the RUF's in Sierra Leone, or the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda?
