I didn't say anything about pulling a gun, just that if you aren't willing to arm yourself and re-engage, it is a dick move to call someone else armed to come over and do it for you.
It has nothing to do with violence. The correct move is obviously to not re-engage, personally or by proxy.
> Isn't that the very reason societies develop laws and governments? To not have people using violence to get their way?
Quite the opposite. Laws are enforced exclusively via threat of violence, and the only thing that distinguishes the government from any other leadership organization is a claim to legitimate use of violence.
