Is violence becoming more socially acceptable than "offensive words"?

Example?

Here's the latest one I saw before making this thread... https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=135_1314585645 (thanks Birimbau)

Guy literally attacks an elderly couple because he thinks they called him a racially derogatory term (they didn't). Although even if they had that certainly doesn't justify him attacking them.

Or there's even posts here on VGC that would make good examples, calling for Trump and/or his supporters to be killed or tortured or whatever just because of what they say/think.

I don't think violence is being justified more today than any other period (member all those bullshit wars?), it's just the 'justifications' that are changing.
