Violence is not categorically bad, I don't think. Rarely, violence is necessary in self defense. It might be the option of last resort, but sometimes violence can stop worse consequences.

I'm not justifying any particular actions that anyone has taken in specific, just objecting to the categorization that it is always bad. (For example, someone suffering from domestic violence might strike back in an effort to escape.)

It doesn't matter if violence is necessary, it is still bad

What does this mean? If something is necessary, is it not justifiable? If it is justifiable, how can it be bad?
