If you're a criminal of the same level as the attacker you crush his/her skull. If you're a sane person you just get them arrested.
If you kill the attacker his family might crush your skull which then provokes your family to crush one of theirs etcetera. I think this is a silly act as best and sometimes people need to control their actions if they don't want to lower themselves.
Ever heard of Kant's categorical imperative? Interesting read

What you're proposing leads to the extinction of mankind and probably the annihilation of earth.
