I can only speak for myself here.
Yes, I would resort to violence. I wouldn't consider myself a violent person, but there are certain things which do push me over the edge, based on things I find particularly offensive for one reason or another.
I have struck a man who has had a very physical confrontation with a woman in public. Gut reaction, when I see a man inflict any physical harm on a woman, I step in. If he backs off, that's fine, if not, I swing.
I have struck a man who has PUNCHED a child in public. I don't mean spank, I don't even mean slap, I mean clearly intoxicated male, close fist, strike a child.
If we're talking about friends cheating, to each their own. Between the physical health of myself, other members of my family, illegitimate children, drug abuse, my family has been through a lot. Yes, others are far worse off than I, but as a child, I remember holiday dinners with 30 to 40 family members in attendance. Many years later, those same holiday dinners are down to 6 people, myself included, soon to be 5, as my grandmother is in her later years.
The marriage of my parents is virtually the only thing holding together what's left of our family. For either one of them to ruin all that's left would, with 100% certainty, be one of hair triggers that leads me to do things I'm not proud of.
Like I said, I'm not a violent person. I'm very level headed in both my personal and my professional life, but there are just a handful of occasions in which I will lay you out or die trying, and this just happens to be one of them.
