Question

When people are kidnapped for ransom, a reasonable response is to pay the ransom, get the hostages released, and then retaliate?

Answer 1

I agree with the answer above that paying the ransom and then letting the police handle the situation is the best option. Taking matters into your own hands will only make the situation worse.

Answer 2

False, personally I think you should just pay the ransom, considering the kidnapped's life is much more important than revenge or retaliation, yet if the kidnapper is caught and thrown into jail, it would be a win win.
