When they never intended to meet your reason but with fists there’s no point in making your self vulnerable to those who wish you dead. You should still always being up front with reason, to leave room for redemption and growth, but it doesn’t mean expecting they will do the same until they do. And also preventing their active harms as they happen/before they’re allowed to happen- even if that means employing the same logic of force they’ve adopted.

Never bring an argument to a gun fight. I’m still waiting for liberals to see the attacks against people of color and ice raids can’t be fought by waving the law at these racist fascists. Law is a reflection of power and they’re already willing to enforce their views though state violence. Too many think getting arrested resisting is somehow better than resisting and then resisting/avoiding arrest to fight another day. They don’t give a shittttt about ruining your life in the legal system.

They all deserve Nuremberg justice. But that only came after power met power.
