Without devolving into a discussion of semantics too much, violence really does imply some intent to harm another person, or people.

If I drive at ~200km/h on my way from Berlin to Munich, am I "being violent"?

> violence really does imply some intent to harm another person, or people.

That is one of the meanings/senses of the word, but not the only one.

It is perfectly reasonable to say that driving ~200km/h is a violent speed without saying the the driver is being violent because those are two different senses of the word.
