  1. Violence and criminality do not solve problems, they create more. Mathew 5:44 "However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those so persecute you" If a person is dangerous we must trust in the state, God's blunt instrument, to deal with them appropriately. No state is perfect, but they are still a better alternative to vigilantism.

  2. Despite noble intentions, no protest, riot or terrorist act can bring an end to injustice. At most, these deal with some of the symptoms some of the time while leaving the disease itself, the hatred and sin that lies in the human heart, untouched. The cure for this disease lies not with man, but with Jehovah God, who alone holds out a hope for a future free from such things under His kingdom. Some of those who formerly sought to end injustice through protest and violence have now accepted the Bible's truth and beaten their swords into ploughshares, see the story of one in this article: https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=102013245&srcid=share
