It isn't that you have "ill" thoughts, but in that you are naturally reacting to how someone behaved to you. What really matters is how you respond to how others act to you. You cant control them, and you cant kill them legally, so the only thing you can do is make a decision as to what you are willing to tolerate or not tolerate.
While breaking the law does bring bad consequences, we shouldn't base our morality on punishments or rewards. I personally don't think that anyone deserves the death penalty or to be physically or mentally harmed. What I do think they deserve is being called out and live the consequences of their actions.
