Violence is sometimes needed, its having the wisdom and intelligence to know your not instigating unless it crosses lines. Self defense, is one good example that everyone can agree on. However if you don't need to use violence even in a self defense situation and can talk you way out that makes you a much better human being. That being said, if the line is crossed, and we the people take up arms against oppressors, as show in history it will be bloody,and extremely violent. Those peaceful people who are forced to defend their way of life will be very angry as this will change them forever. Everyone has a threshold as to how much or what they will tolerate. every situation is different and if you as a group role played it everyone would come at if from experience and wisdom. There is no real right answer, its what can you live with and justify your choices in life.
