If you just want revenge, then put on a shirt with a white skull and become a Charles Bronson-esque vigilante, but if you want to save lives, then get over yourself and start coming at the issue from a logical standpoint. As it is you aren't serving justice, just your own self-indulgent desire for retribution, and I have no interest in or respect for that.
