It's complicated, yes, and I'm not suggesting that the two wrongs here are on anything like the same scale.
That said, I still believe that wishing death and pain on others is an ugly thing, not to mention a huge waste of energy.

I can't stomach stuff about child abuse and got extremely freaked out by adverts on TV from the likes of the NSPCC and Barnardos back in the 2000s, especially the one where the teenage girl kept being repeatedly slapped around the head by her dad, with him repeatedly screaming the words 'YOU WORTHLESS LITTLE COW!' at her, and her being stuck in the cycle of crime and drugs.
There was another TV ad by Barnardos from around the same era where a vigilante group disguised as hunters were huddled round a table discussing the 'evils' of contemporary youth accompanied by scaremongering quotes from newspapers at the time about feral teenagers, then went out in a car driving round a neighbourhood and fired gunshots at random groups of teenagers!!
Both really made my blood boil!
Lencoboy, there's one partially animated NSPCC advert from that era that upset me so badly I felt physically sick if I caught an accidental glimpse of the billboards that accompanied it.
