I think unless this is a situation you've actually been in then maybe your not understanding the situation.
I'm not defending these actions (if it happened etc etc etc) but i'd consider myself a really calm and easy going guy with not much of a temper unless really really pushed. I had massive problems last year with a neighbour throwing very loud parties until 4am in the morning for 2-3 days a week (so..not even every day but sufficient to cause chaos for me). You'd get to the point where every day you'd just "expect" the parties to start.
I remember chatting to them about it without much success and they'd have literally 5 blokes who were absolutely hammered just shouting / swearing as loud as they could in the back yard (1am-4am in the morning) making it just totally impossible to sleep until they decided.
I found myself feeling as if i was going crazy after a few months of this. My problem wasn't even the noise anymore but just the fact they felt they could do it and didn't care about the problems it was causing me + gf + her kid at all (and i did explain in depth about just how much of a problem it was turning out to be). I can't tell/describe to you how near i was on several occasions to reaching for the biggest kitchen knife and going into the backyard to "sort it out quickly" in a genuine fit of rage. I honestly think i came extremely close at the time yet now to even think about it, its just crazy.
This is a horrible horrible situation to be in and i'd not consider myself any different to anyone else for feeling like this. That feeling of hearing someone shouting as if they're in the same room as you as loud as they can when your absolutely exhausted but still can't sleep, you look at the time and its 4:27am.
Just felt i should give my view on this. Its hard to imagine unless you've been there and obviously each persons situation is different.

. One late evening he started bashing on the front door screaming and ranting god knows what, so I bolted down to the front door and opened it to him waving a large chefs knife in my face
. So I quickly pushed him back and slammed the door quickly! Told my girlfriend what had just happened she called the police useless doesn't come close
. The very next day I slipped out the front door quickly and brought myself a pretty baseball bat from the local sport shop and whacked some floor standing speaker spikes into it
. Now all I had to do was wait for him to come out of his hole 3-4 hours on he did I called him over and he apparently didn't have any recollection of the previous night
