Hate it or otherwise, the enemy is armed, and if their fervor isn’t matched they won’t stop to think. If they have to consider you an equal threat that forces at least some of them rethink their position. And some of them will walk away, cause their hate isn’t as powerful as their will to live.

Those too hateful to see reason you where always going to have to fight tooth an nail, but at least there will be less of them.
