There are more justifications than self-defense. I believe revenge is justified in extraordinary cases. Some people simply must die.
There was a case a while back where a father discovered that his kid's karate instructor was molesting him. One morning, as the molestor was walking out of his school, the father pulled a gun on him and shot him dead. He remains a convicted murderer, but the judge granted extreme leniency in sentencing, and the father walks the street today.
Of course, there are the obvious problems of one person playing judge, jury, and executioner. Hence, why people should not just be shooting each other over everything. Now, I may not agree with what this father did...but I can certainly understand why he did it.
