Because the violence at times was apparently random and petty, involving personal grudges that resulted in the naming of individuals as traitors to the French Revolution. (For example the great chemist and biologist Antoine Lavosier was charged by Jean-Paul Marat with selling watered down tobacco among other crimes. Lavosier had once denied standing to a scientific invention by Marat that he considered preposterous. One of the greatest minds in the world was guillotined on 8 May 1794 simply because Marat held a big, big, big, big, big grudge).
