JBP QUOTE

"You have the right to act in self-defense, and in the defense of others, when they require it. But you shouldn't go looking for trouble. It's far too easy to justify acting with resentment and hatred while telling yourself that you are merely defending what is right. Perhaps you are. But you’d better be sure about that or you will stir up some terrible variant of hell that will move rapidly beyond your control."
