Threat of violence only escalates the problem. Threats rouse either fear or anger, which lead to the same result, as people tend to destroy the things they fear. Picking up a weapon ratchets up the severity of the situation by a couple thousand notches, and that isn't what anyone wants. If killing were legal, you could end the problem in a fairly efficient manner, but it's not, so you can't. And you should try not to injure people you don't plan to deal with in a more permanent fashion.
