If I’m holding something and someone comes up to me to try to take it from me, that’s violence. If I put my wallet in a locker, then you come by after I leave and break into the locker, that’s theft and not violence. If I set a booby trap in the locker I would be at fault because an innocent could get hurt, but if I catch your hand in my pocket and twist it off you got what was coming to you.
