Violence is NEVER the answer.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.
