This is an excellent comment, TheHumanPrimer. Especially “ Only shoot if you have too for survival.”. I would amend this with shooting to defend yourself and others, too. Often times you are NOT doing harm if you fight. Indeed the harm comes by NOT fighting.
I heard a comment awhile ago, but I cannot remember where it was. I think it was in a video. To paraphrase, it mentioned whether or not you would want to have Jesus or Buddha nearby if you or someone you know was being raped. Buddha would not interrupt his mediation or diminish his connection to his source by allowing Evil to influence him, and would do nothing. Jesus would (most likely), come and assist. He was, as I understand it, a rebel, after all.
Now, I am not Christian, but I feel that allowing Evil to continue by passively expecting someone else, or another Being to take care of it is what has gotten us to this stage in the first place. There is something to be said for “nipping it in the bud”.

Just my take. Loved the meme.
