I disagree. A lot  of the characters, the factions, organizations, 
advocate or threaten violence. 

There is W.W.II, Korea, Vietnam, Central America, War on Drugs, American
Cities burning, Campus violence, labor struggle violence, mafia violence
in the USA and Japan ... son on and on. 

Hector is violent. 

Isaiah 2:4 and the Vomitones are violence enthusiasts. 

Vato & Blood car jack automobiles. 

Millard Hobbs plays Marquis de Sod. 

Brock is violent. 

Ralph Wayvone is violent. 


To the Crew: 

The Pisk SIsters are Violent, but we don't know much about them.  We do
know that they come from NYC and we know what Sale says in his book
about the violent tendencies of urban middle class whites (I provided
Sale's source in a previous post). 

Most of the 24fps and PR3 characters are minor so we can't say all that
much about them. Sledge, is violent. Mirage is not. 

The only characters we have much to go on are Frenesi and DL. 

Pynchon provides a lot of details about the family histories of these
two. 

The Sisters. 

So how did these women get into violence? 

There is a causal line.
