Gripe with the guy or gripe with the law enforcement community's inability to enforce some of its laws effectively?
My gripe was with noodle's assertion that the legal system was completely and totally ineffective in dissuading criminals to seek revenge, something I've not heard of happening after a common assult or burglary.

Yes, thankyou, that is my point.

I use the word disable in a very clinical & absolute sense, to highlight this - a 12ga sabot round though the chest would be an effective way of disabling someone.

Beyond that, *shrugs*, it's situation dependent & individual perspective. Each to their own. I hope however I've made the nature of UK law on the whole issue a little clearer.
