Hurt my loved ones and it is necessary.

In the horrible situation that someone you love has been raped or viciously attacked so that they have a permanent injury would you take revenge on the person responsible?

Although it would give me a great deal of immediate personal satisfaction, I'd probably not seek revenge.  I'm not about to spend time in prison for killing a scuzzball.  I'm worth more than that. 

Even more importantly I feel I would be deserting the person I love.  Even though it would be damn hard I would choose to be there for them, consoling them, whatever.  Damn hard.

Depends... on when I learn about, and when I meet the person who did it. I would probably not seek them out, but if they ever crossed my path they would get beat senseless. I would carry around a blunt instrument specifically for this.

EDIT: deleted a very descriptive and violent fantasy...

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

  I have savage thoughts when I am pissed off, and for good or ill, I get angrier about abuse of animals rather than abuse of people.
  It isn't that I think animals are more important, I just get more emotional about them.
  That said, my savagery tends to stay inside my head; I don't know if it would emerge into action under any circumstances.  :apondering:

Watch "The Seasoning House" for an excellent revenge thriller. Although, I wouldn't have called it "revenge"...more like 'survival'.

So that wasn't you in the viral Youtube video of Black Friday's Mayhem?  Sure looked like you rolling people over to get at the sales.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

  In my defense, they were blocking my access to some rather fine imported butter cookies!  :M

If the person were dealt with by the courts sufficiently and locked away from the rest of society, I wouldn't pursue vengeance.  I wouldn't want to waste my life away on such an awful person.

Touch my loved ones and there is nothing a civilised court can do that would be even close to sufficient. It would be my mission to make what remains of their lives a living hell.

No one can predict how they will react to violence against a loved one. Ever.
