I do see your point, but I am of the opinion that two wrongs don't make a right, and I honestly don't think I would find any satisfaction in doing something bad to somebody simply to make myself feel better.. it just wouldn't work with me.
Now, if anybody harmed my kids... TOTALLY different story I think
