Because violence is a necessary tool to enforce your beliefs. E.g. one shouldn't genocide. You ask the genocider to cease. They don't. You use violence to communicate your desire.
But wouldnt that count as political violence too?
Not if it is against someone outside of the hierarchy you live in.

I know, it's so frustrating how everyone is making things up. Like, we don't know anything about this situation. Are we even sure he got shot? Maybe his neck just kinda did that all by itself. Look I'm just asking questions. All I'm saying is that we can't be sure of anything anymore.
