Jesus was full of shit; turning the other cheek will only get you slapped silly. Angry Anderson was correct; you fight violence with violence.
You know mate,something back in those days; if a slave owner didnt like what a slave was up to he could slap him to bring him into line. If anyone slapped anyone on both sides of the face it was a challenge to fight to the death on equal terms (you were then free to fight). Addressing the slaves to turn the other cheek, could be different to addressing others to turn it regarding the more popular context.
