You're right, that's another reaction we often see. The rejoinder is, how far should vigilante justice go? Should the abuser be killed? Maimed? Because if the attack is just brushed off, the abuser will move on to other targets. And what if there's a misunderstanding -- if we rely on vigilante enforcement, how do we handle the fallout of a disproportionate or inappropriate violent response? Once we accept that abusers should face consequences, it's in everyone's interest for cases to be handled through formal administrative procedures with proper rules of evidence and protections. But sadly, those administrative procedures don't always fulfill their potential -- as in the case of this Marine, the case where HR gets rid of the reporter rather than the abuser, etc.
