Violence is always an option. It should be the last to take but it is always an option.
In fact that has been the implicit threat driving democracy. If you give the angry an out though voting, you can get out of the way before the threat of violence.
Attack people's democratic voice and you risk the violent answer.
It is the ballot or the bullet, as a wise man once said.
