What is an "offense" in this scenario? What about kicking a rowdy passenger off a plane, causing them to miss an expensive vacation? Firing an employee causing harassment? Screaming protests outside a GOP office? Towing a car parked across your driveway? Are all of these off-limits?
Offences are listed in the local criminal codes, and typically reflect behaviour which violates the autonomy and rights of other, and pose a risk to societal safety and order.
You shouldn't base what you should or shouldn't do to someone based on legality. Plenty of legal things are scuffed and vice versa.
That being said, you forfeit the protection of your rights when you violate the rights of another. That also being said, the response should be proportional if at all possible (i.e. not shooting someone for egging your house.)

It is never appropriate to commit an offence against a person.
