It is depressing. First because their act is inhuman and a part of me wants to respond in kind but on a much larger scale. Second because I realize that responding in kind would just beget more violence.

Those who initiate the use of violence are not morally equivalent to those who respond in self defense.

The concern I expressed was my want to respond on a much larger scale. Meaning, if carried out, innocent people would die as well as those I intended to strike against, which in turn would infuriate others to respond in self defense, thereby begetting more violence.
