My personal opinion to this topic is this..  Just a plain case of "get them before they get you.."syndrome..

It is common practice among teenagers to try and "best" the other side.  We have this at our own high school..  My daughters group versus her cousins group.  The 2 girls have never gotten along.  Virtually hate each other for reasons that I do not really understand, but it is what it is..

You do something, so they retailate..  So you do something even "better" and they do something even "better"... never ending cycle that is the most normal behavior according to our guidance counselor..
  
  Then the kids get to a point of forgetting who did what and just try to "get them" before they have a chance to be had..
  
  So.. right or wrong.. it happens and it isn't a matter of defense.  It is just a matter of who can get who first..
