People who are attempting to cause serious harm need to be stopped.
This is such a weird phrasing, because it attributes the need to the person it’s proposing to stop, instead of to the people who want them stopped.
Consider: If Julius Caesar is attempting to cause serious harm to the Gauls, it’s not Caesar who needs Caesar to be stopped; it’s the Gauls who need Caesar to be stopped.

I used the passive voice because identifying who does the stopping isn’t directly relevant to the topic of whether it’s good or bad to promote enmity.
