But violence is not wrong in every situation.
If someone had killed Putin in late 2021, there would be at a hundred thousand innocent dead people who would be alive today, and big swaths of rubble that would still be people's homes.

No one holds those beliefs. If someone is murdering your spouse or child, you will do your best to stop them, no matter what the damage to the attacker.
