This is a good way to look at it; thanks!

Violence is not a way of getting where you want to go, only more quickly. Its existence changes your destination. If you use it, you had better be prepared to find yourself in the kind of place it takes you to.

This is one way of looking at the refutation of the idea that the end justifies the means. The means chosen has consequences which effectively become part of the end, even if they weren't there at first.
