When people say they would kill someone, or otherwise react violently, if someone did something to a loved one, is it really true, or is it just a knee-jerk reaction?

A lot of people on fluther say they would kill or hurt someone if they hurt their child or other loved one, mostly in reaction to molestation and the like. I find this attitude deplorable, and I tend to look bad upon people who say this, but when I think about it, how many people would really do it?

If you have said this, is it true, would you really kill someone? Is this just hyperbole?
