Sure, how else would you stop a violent threat to society? Say, a chap who starts shooting up a mall? Or a foreign invader?

I mean, if you're an unconditional pacifist, who believes that violence should never be used, even in response to violence, I can understand that position, even if I don't agree with it. But it doesn't sound like you are.
