Yes?
My comment should not be read as “the violence has already begun and ended, and no more will occur” but rather more like “we are past the point at which violence has begun”. I was implying that violence is not inevitable, it’s already here.
No offense, but then “happening” would have been more appropriate. The other commenter is correct about “happened” being past tense as in… it’s over. Or you could have used “has happened” which leaves a bit of room for future violence. But this is pedantry at it’s best - you’re intent having been acknowledged. :)
Well you used the past-tense “happened”…
