The incompatibilitist consequentialist in me says no but the cathartic revenge hedonist in me says yes.

I dunno what them big words mean, but I see a yes in there and thats all I need to hear

Breaking it down, the 'no' comes basically from "Free will doesn't exist so no one can justly be punished and violence just causes pain and a cycle of more violence"
The 'yes' comes from "We're all dead one day anyway and it is intrinsically pleasurable to harm/kill people who have wronged me, my loved ones, or any innocent people. "
The latter is actually a more unethical embrace of pleasure.
On a broader scale though I'm against both the death penalty and revenge/vigilante killing, but I actually think the latter is comparatively less unethical in a vacuum. At least in the case of revenge/vigilante killing someone is getting something out of it.

Ethics are for those who can afford them, catharsis is a tune we can all dance to
