A History of Violence

Scene: Joey/Tom Stalls kills out-of-town robbers in his diner.

Claim: It is human nature to resolve conflicts through violence.

Objection I: Settling disputes through violence does not solve conflicts because the repercussions follow one mentally, emotionally, and/or physically. Non-violent actions are morally superior and/or pragmatically more effective.

Objection II: Not all human beings resolve conflicts through violence.
