In the 21st century has the word "violence" been redefined?

     The redefinition of the noun word "violence" has been noted in the www.merriam-webster link as "fervor" which isn't surprising, as this well-known website has inserted itself into the left of center political spectrum, and which can be used by those who say they are protesting against other individuals of a certain religion who are blamed for what is happening in the Mideast, yet those people of a certain religion are in a place where they should be allowed free access, like a school.
    I did include another link to a website that didn't have the word "fervor" as one of the definitions, nor did it have it in a sentence, the Wikipedia.org site gives a thorough explanation about the noun word "violence" together with explanations about the origins of that word with its usage.
     Insofar as the why of my choice for this month's wordsplusmeanings blogspot post, I've been struck at how violence in all its forms is a big part of our 21st century era, as it was during the early 20th century, considering that even the courts took part, for instance, the Sacco and Vanzetti miscarriage of justice, done to placate a public that demanded the use of the courts to inflict punishment, even when what happened was a result of a protest by a group who had political opinions opposite to the politics of the Wilson administration and the majority of Americans. And I have included the Wikipedia.com thorough explanation of what happened to these 2 men, who were immigrants with a foreign political philosophy antithetical to the majority of Americans, some might say, the trial and effect is like the current administration's zeal to deport the people here unlawfully, but, the rap sheets of those detained and the killing of American citizens by them belies that accusation.
     As for those who are opposed to those ICE arrests,  don’t' use "violence" against ICE, use your vote to change the existing law that codify deportation of anyone who is has come and stayed here illegally, even the nice gardener who does your lawn, and your housekeeper, too.
