Curious. How does that work when someone is beating you with a baseball bat or robbing you?

You don't tolerate it....? Is this supposed to be a trick question? Sometimes when you don't tolerate something, you are largely powerless against it and it still happens. Sucks, but that's life. You don't have to roll over and present your balls to the bat though.

As MartianSands pointed out, tolerance is not a philosophy; it is a social contract. When intolerance breaks that contract, the tolerant are under no obligation to tolerate it.
