I'd phrase it slightly differently. You're either prone to commit
violence or your're not. "Criminal" implies someone who has been
convicted of a crime. Many of these people have never been convicted
until they do something like kill someone.

Subtle but important difference. Good point.

But the principle is right on.

Of course. But the thing is, there are people who _think_ about
things, and then there are people who _feel_ about things. This sort
of logic doesn't work on the second group.
