How much more evil (assuming a quantitative scale) would be a good agency that remains neutral in the face of evil, when said agency has the ability to do something about it? For instance, in the rape example above, if I had a gun or someo other means to subdue the attacker?

Setting aside that if someone shoots a rapist, I think that it is not only NOT evil, but so good you should get some credit against some other evil you might have done prior...

The real ethical dilemmas occur when a lesser of two evils has to be chosen. I think in ethic theory, it is a good to choose the lesser of two evils when no other choices are possible and the choice to do nothing is the same or worse. The evil caused might still be evil, but culpability (in a legal and moral sense) has been removed. It is also good to have a set of objective moral values/duties in circumstance like these in which to govern.
