She didn't understand "Get out of my way."

She didn't understand "Leave me alone."

She didn't understand "Stop blocking my car from leaving."

But she understood loud and clear the sound of a bullet being chambered into that handgun.

Some people don't understand anything other than physical threats. You can't reason with a violent instigator.

Speech is powerful because behind it is the threat of violence.

If you are armed maybe. But all too often speech doesn't work because most people aren't physically intimidating and aren't in situations where violence is anticipated.
