We've been conditioned that attacking evil is evil. They teach "turn the other cheek" but leave out the parts where Jesus threw over tables in the temple.
Turn the other cheek is a very wise philosophy. Another name for it is "tit for two tats". It is a refinement of "tit for tat". It is there to prevent death spirals.
It means to assume the other party acted without malice, and the harm done was an honest mistake.... but what if you know it was purposely evil?
