Of course those situations exist and happen every day. My question was why would there be "no other way" of dealing with them other than by killing the perpetrator? The impulse to kill in such a situation is the typical line of thought, but not the only way of approaching the topic of violence and killing. The point of my inquiry was to motivate reflection, not conformity to impulsive thinking.

Take the time and invest the effort into thinking outside the box, and it will become clear. There are many practical alternatives. Not obvious ones, but alternatives nonetheless.

However, I'm not about to draft a manifesto to share on this site. To get all of it down in writing would be far beyond the scope of a Buddhist chat forum. If, however, you would be willing to give me a number of weeks to prepare a proposal that I could share privately, I would be more than happy to do so. I enjoy these types of "assignments". In the meantime, give violence and killing some thoughtful reflection. I promise to do the same.
