Is it normal to have violent thoughts when angry

If I'm in a really bad mood and someone I really love bothers me, and there's an argument, I have a thought in my head of smashing their kneecaps with a baseball bat (and even more graphic things). But only for a few seconds.

IT'S NEVER AN ACTUAL PLAN OR A SERIOUS PLAN. JUST A SPLIT SECOND THOUGHT I THINK ABOUT THAT I NEVER AND NEVER WOULD ACT UPON.

Then, when my mood improves, I feel really guilty for EVER thinking that about such a nice person.

Is this normal?

    yes but please be careful with your thoughts because I have thought such horrid things that may not be normal.....I asked for a demon to come help me and he did come to me, how ever I ended up getting hurt by him.......Not sure if he still follows me but I haven't seen the demon around lately this year is the first year I live with out demon in my life. He hurt my cat, and my dog defended me from this demon a year ago.
    I am very serious too about this.
    Be careful with your thoughts.
    Seriously BE CAREFUL
    it can get dangerous.
    Lately I have been having extremely bad thoughts and wishes for my x husband who called cps on me a day ago......yea I am not going to go there in detail but you get my drift. Why the f on earth would the abuser who has damaged me physically and verbally want our daughter to be taken away from me? Judge will never give him custody in a million years! Fkn fool he is!

    Very normal. I've been so mad at one of my guy friends I've thought of strangling him, and I think of hurting or killing people when I'm angry sometimes. The key is knowing to not indulge in these ideas and that they're only present momentarily because of intense emotions.
