1) A public speaker attempting to justify violence is Malcolm X on this website http://www.malcolm-x.org/speeches/spc_06__63.htm. The tactics used by Malcolm X that are talked about in chapter 12 are one; addressing situational demands, specifically the section stated An Evil force, Malcolm X speaks of how its God will to end the evilness of mankind and that the "no one is more innocent than the poor, blind American so-called Negro" displaying justice and innocence towards African Americans in the U.S.. Though displays the white American in the U.S. by stating "No one on earth is more guilty than the blue-eyed white man who has used his control and influence over the Negro leader to lead the rest of our people astray."showing that the white man is an evil breed that has had horrible influence on African Americans. Also Malcolm X uses 'Turning to Violence' section from chapter 12 within his speech by stating "After four hundred years of slave labor, we have some back pay coming." this shows how Malcolm X is using the fact of enslavement and oppression by white Americans to turn to violence.

2) An act of violence was the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941. This was an attack of the Japanese air-force against the American navy, this act is Direct Violence. 
we could frame this act of violence to be terrorism because even though it was "an act of war" the Japanese attacked the U.S. in cold blood and the U.S. was unknowing of these attacks. Also this act of violence did strike a lot of fear and terror in Americans hearts, the Japanese made them feel vulnerable and weak. This act of violence could also be seen as morally right from the Japanese perspective because the U.S. placed an embargo on Japan restricting their trade and had their assets frozen by the U.S.. The Japanese thus thought this act of war was morally right and wanted to show America that they will not stand by and be treated like this from the allied powers.

3) Personally I think yes, violence to some extent could be needed depending on the situation and if the opposing force uses violence first.
