Very well described . Even I also used words 'enemy ' , 'rioter' or 'gangsters' which are in NO way innocent person . Even if there is no mal intent and if such power is used precariously without proper care and due diligence , it is still problem . World (though its state laws , customs , beliefs , traditions ) and God considers integrated behavior of the people (which includes one's thoughts/intent , words used in communication and resultant action all together concurrently) . It (world & God) does not give weight age anything in isolation (thoughts /actions / words ) in contravention of other . Thoughts /actions / words must go hand in hand and point to a singular reality .
But very good that you posted your comment . Thanks very much . Repetition of same good point in different perspectives is far better than any potential confusion/mischief in the absence of it .
