Some examples: you don't like someone you work with, so, although they've never done anything to you, you decide to see to it that they don't receive important messages or in some other way sabotage their work. You believe your neighbor might sue you on account of the garage you just built, so you send them a nastily-worded letter saying your attorney has checked all the city codes and it's perfectly legal.

But yes, hate crimes are probably the most common types of pretaliation.



As in "didn't you get the email? The boss sent it out at
9:15 this AM".
There is a food advertisement where the "whole crew" is eating
and some guy says "why didn't you invite me like you always do?",
and they give him that reply.

In old westerns, the Sheriff says: "get your horses, boys, we'll
go after him". I suppose that is a sort of "warrant", no?
