If you don't want to flee, then don't, but it is an option.
Not being able to resolve conflict to your satisfaction in the manner that you wish doesn't make it not an option. Sometimes people in a violent rage don't calm down if you run away and come back a minute later.
I don't know why I'm even entertaining this part of the conversation.
We haven't justified that stealing a wooden spoon should result in a violent rage at all.
