- Revenge is a natural human instinct.
Many of us get some satisfaction out of
seeing justice done to those who have wronged us,
but what happens when those acts of revenge
go beyond justice?

Here are 10 Acts of Revenge That Went Way Too Far.
(knife slicing)

On March 10th, 2015, firefighters responded
to a blaze in Arvada, Colorado, only to find a giant message
painted across the front of the house.
The fire was intentionally started
by 31-year-old William Eugene Lindauer,
who was taking revenge against
his 29-year-old ex-wife, Brianne,
whom, if the message was accurate, was unfaithful to him.
William used a can of black spray paint to write
my wife is a cheater on the white siding of his home,
before trashing the house and property,
tossing patio furniture out into the street,
and finally igniting the building on fire.
Though here unfaithfulness wasn't confirmed,
Brianne divorced her husband on February 18th, 2014
and William allegedly didn't take it well.
Disturbingly, the ex-couple's two cats were in the house,
leading to an animal cruelty charge
being tacked on to the several William already had.

On February 9th, 2016, an unidentified Tanzanian man
was playing a game called Jackpot
inside a casino in Nairobi, Kenya,
when he suddenly found himself down around $300.
Wanting to continue playing,
he walked up to a manager and requested a loan,
but she promptly denied him.
Angrily, the man walked out to his car
and returned minutes later with a sword
with which he started slashing the manager.
After he had taken the woman's life,
one of the casino security guards
attempted to restrain the murderer,
but unfortunately, also fell to the man's sword.
Fellow gamblers witnessed the killings in horror
and chased the man out into the street
where they took some revenge of their own.
Picking up some stones and debris off of the street,
the small mob began pummeling him mercilessly,
until he died from his injuries.

Number eight is the Overkill Murder.

(knife slicing)
On June 4th, 2008, 30-year-old salesman Travis Alexander
was murdered in his own apartment in Mesa, Arizona.
His murderer was his 27-year-old girlfriend, Jodi Arias,
who allegedly took Alexander's life
after he verbally abused her and claimed that she'd been
the worst thing to ever happen to him.
Though she first claimed that she
hadn't even been in Mesa the night of the murder,
her story changed to say that she'd
killed her boyfriend in self defense.
However, this was an explanation
that very few took seriously,
considering when and how Alexander's body was discovered.
He'd been found by some friends on June 9th,
nearly five days after he'd been killed,
meaning that she had gone on with her life while he rotted.
In addition was the fact that he'd been stabbed with a knife
between 27 and 29 times and had his throat slit
and then been shot in the head.

Number seven is the Full Metal Dentist.

(knife slicing)
On July 7th, 1944, around 5:00 a.m.,
29-year-old dentist and captain
in the United States Army's 105th Infantry,
Benjamin L. Salomon, was treating a wounded soldier
in a tent just outside of the village
of Tanapag in the Marianas Islands,
when he spotted a Japanese soldier leap from the bushes
and stab some of the injured.
Flying into a fit of rage,
Salomon grabbed a rife and shot him dead,
but more enemy soldiers soon arrived.
With the adrenaline still pumping through him,
he took them out one by one before they could finish off
any of the wounded Allied forces.
While medics helped evacuate the injured,
Salomon kept angrily killing off
every enemy that got inside the area.
When help finally arrived, they found Salomon dead,
laying on a machine gun, but surrounding him
were the dead bodies of 98 Japanese infantrymen.

Number six is The Perfect Frame Job.

(knife slicing)
In 2010, after his ex-girlfriend,
35-year-old Seemona Sumasar,
refused to drop rape charges that she'd filed against him,
38-year-old Queens, New York resident, Jerry Ramrattan,
decided to ruin her life.
Calling on his knowledge of police serial dramas
like Law and Order, Ramrattan set up an extensive frame job,
in which he paid two people to provide false testimonies
that Sumasar committed multiple armed robberies,
along with a great deal of additional evidence
to implicate her.
Sumasar was arrested and spent seven months in jail,
before an informant came forward
and finally revealed what Ramrattan had done.
Sumasar was released, but by then had lost her restaurant,
become alienated from her friends,
and lost precious time with her 12-year-old daughter.
Ramrattan was convicted of several crimes
and is now behind bars.

(knife slicing)
On June 23rd, 1993, after being sexually assaulted
by her own husband, John, on several occasions,
22-year-old Lorena Bobbitt had had enough.
But instead of simply leaving him,
Lorena waited until he fell asleep
and then she got out of bed, went to the kitchen,
and returned with a knife.
While John slept, she sliced off his penis at the base.
As the 26-year-old man screamed and bled,
Lorena got in her car, drove to a field,
and hurled the appendage as far as she could.
It was only then that she realized
the gravity of what she'd done and called 911.
Luckily for John,
surgeons were actually able to reattach his penis,
though the operation took over nine hours to perform.
Lorena was arrested,
but was ruled not guilty by reason of insanity.
While John, to make money for his legal fees
and prove that he was still complete,
starred in some adult films.
A truly disturbing situation for all parties.

(knife slicing)
On August 2nd, 1343, Olivier de Clisson IV
was publicly executed for treason in Paris, France.
Appalled and grief-stricken, his wife, Jeanne de Clisson,
swore revenge against the French Crown.
She sold all of her inherited lands,
raised a force of men who swore loyalty to her,
and began attacking French forces
and estates in Brittany, France.
During these attacks, she would leave only one person alive
to tell the story of what happened.
Soon, she had three ships under her command,
all black with red sails, and spent her time hunting down
French ships as they traveled down the English Channel.
She gained infamy and was known to be ruthless,
even personally beheading any person of importance
that came across her with an ax.
Her revenge lasted over 13 years
and earned her the nickname, the Lioness of Brittany.

Number three is Complete Obliteration.

(knife slicing)
It should be well known that you should
never antagonize your neighbors,
especially when those neighbors are Mongols.
However, that's exactly what Ala ad-Din Muhammad,
ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire,
did in the early 13th century.
The Mongol leader, Genghis Khan,
had no intention of invading Muhammad's territory
and even sent offers
for the two great nations to open trades,
but the Khwarezmian leader decided to
execute many of the visiting ambassadors.
So Khan invaded, killing thousands,
and making an example of the leader with one of the cities
by pouring molten silver on his face.
To add to this revenge, after the territory was his,
Khan had a dam built in order to divert water
though Muhammad's birthplace, eradicating everything,
so there would be no physical memory of him ever.

Number two is The Burning City.
(film rolling)
(knife slicing)
In 945 AD, Princess Olga of Kiev lost her husband,
Prince Igor, when he was killed by the Drevlians,
a Slavic tribe that owed him tribute.
Since her son was too young to rule,
the tribe demanded that Olga marry one of their own
and sent her several suitors.
Understandably enraged over this,
the princess had the entire group buried alive.
Then, she requested better suitors from the Drevlians,
who obliged and sent them.
These ones, Olga had locked in a bathhouse,
which was then set on fire, killing them too.
Finally, after an attack on the tribe's city failed,
the princess requested that the Drevlians
send her pigeons of peace.
Upon arriving, she had hot coals attached to their feet
and sent them flying home.
Of course, when the birds returned home,
they set their coops on fire,
which wound up destroying much of the city.

And number one is a Mass Shooting.

(knife slicing)
On May 23rd, 2014, 22-year-old college dropout,
Elliot Rodger, posted a video to YouTube
revealing that he'd been rejected by several women
and that he hated all sexually active men.
Claiming that his retribution was coming,
Rodger went on a killing spree,
starting with three of his friends
who he stabbed to death in his California apartment.
He then drove to a sorority house
and shot three women, killing two of them.
He then continued hunting down those
that he held responsible for his pain
and either shot them or ran them over.
Rodger killed six people in total, all of them students,
and injured 14 more.
After a brief shootout with police,
he took a bullet in the hip and crashed his car.
When police got to him, they found Rodger dead
from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
