I hafta agree with Carp on this one.  If we're talking about an actual 
anarchist community in which someone was committing violence against 
community members, wouldn't listen to reason, and then stepped up the 
attacks, I see no alternative to shooting them.  Talking didn't work.  
Expulsion would be an injustice to other communities.  In the end, self-
interest in the viability of the community requires violence.
