Really, really depends on the situation. If you're going to put the safety of the passengers and the plane into jeopordy by going around, yes landing becomes something of a no-brainer at that point.
Starscream, I never advocated detachment from reality or a lack of common sense so let me remind you that your FAR, FOM, SOP guidance do in fact supersede airlinepilotforums.com so please keep this in mind.
In this scenario a person disregard signage and cabin crew instruction. This occurrence should have never been brought to anyone's attention on short final—and on those grounds it is immaterial. It might as well not exist and should not alter the level of risk the aircraft is exposed to.
I would opt to land with "appropriate" braking over a go around. The merits of avoiding a more dangerous go around maneuver by landing are certainly defensible.
