So the purpose always justifies the means?

Just read something in a Danish newspaper. Some months ago, there were riots in Copenhagen between youngsters, mostly from the left wing, and the police.

Now the Communist party (not in parliament) has stated that it's only fair to use cobble stones and certain forms of violence against the police, as long as it's not 'directed at a particular individual'. Huh?? Their argument was that a revolution by the masses would inevitably result in voilence anyway. Again: huh??

However, they draw a line at molotow cocktails against the police. Cobble stones are ok. Well obviously it would never kill you if you get a heavy stone with sharp edges over your skull, would it??

*sigh*

so basically they're saying that if there's going to be violence, you might as well make it even more violent? wow. no wonder they aren't in parliament!

He lives in a world where 'commie', pronounced with a heavy German accent, is used in the same way as MF lol

And yes, I think it's very strange to say that if something's violent, you might as well make it more violent. You're allowed to throw stones as long as it's not aimed at an individual. Ie, if you throw stones into a police crowd, it's not your fault when it hits someone's head? Their logic is beyond me.
