Well, it was a start, but they each should have lost at least a hand to give them a lasting memory or just been put down like the rabid dogs that they are.

Sounds like what some of the Mobs tactics are needed. They get the person and don't kill him, but they give him a lesson never to be forgotten:

The put an eye out "for not failing to see their way
They cut the tongue out if he spread lies about the group
They cut off a hand if they stole from a group
They castrate him so he doesn't produce any unfaithful progeny,
They cut off a leg so he can't get far away from more "teachable moments".

It was kind of like "long sleeve?" or "short sleeve?" atrocities in the Liberian civil war.

I was thinking of the Godfather, where he gets revenge for the assault on the undertaker's daughter. But proportionate revenge. Let keep nine fingers, just take the left pinky.
