I feel the same way. It's funny because I can't stand senseless violence (committed for "fun" or monetary gain). Yet, I condone violent retribution, in some cases. I don't think I could ever bring myself to be that kind of violent, unless it was in defense of a loved one, but I surely understand why people do it.
I honestly could shoot a yob with a crossbow and not flinch(even a little). Couldn't do it to anyone else. It has to be someone so horrifically evil as to use senseless violence for financial gain or enjoyment. I don't accept violence, but will apply it in self defense of my self, friends and family.
I can be violent but it's because I use reason that I don't. Had this one arsehole in school who kept pushing me, though I had the huge temptation to deck him, I didn't. Because I believed that I was better than that. However, sometimes violence is necessary. If you don't hit back, they'll keep pushing and assume that your a walk over. I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
