Inanimate objects never held the same appeal to her. There weren't any gyms in District 12 where she could work out her frustrations. Nor had there been many people who had actually deserve it. Her mother had but violence against her mother wouldn't have helped the Everdeens's situation after the mine collapsed. Nor would it have helped anything to attack anyone else in District 12. That would have only brought attention to herself.
She only truly struck back during the Games and uprising. Killing Marvel after he had killed Rue had felt good. Bringing down the bombers that attacked the hospital in 7 had also been, in part, an act of vengeance. Then, it had been easy. Here, with those two years far too recent in her memory, it's still easy. She hates this invasion of privacy. And it's easy to extend that hate towards the stranger in front of her right now.
Especially considering he keeps remaining so calm.
"You should be," Katniss insists. "I saw - felt - things that should be private. You should hate me for that."
