While I am all in favor of hunting down the actual villains, I won’t be targeting their families as some sort of revenge. Feel free to go after the traitors and terrorists. Leave the innocents alone.
Define “innocents”.
Vengeance can be ugly, but it is a human trait that is not simply tossed aside by those who have been cruelly treated.
Right or wrong, it is a fact of human existence. While many would prefer not to indulge in vengeance, it is difficult to deny their right to vengeance, up to a certain point. I won’t pretend to know or define such a point.
Targeting family members? Tough call. I can see the point of view from both sides.
