Is it normal to randomly plan out a hypothetical murder?

Even though I do have a history of violent habits, his isn't necessarily out of hatred for the specific person or out of anger.
The most recent example was today, I read about a young woman who was sexually harassed regularly at her job as an engineer, she would make complaints, was told that if she kept complaining she would be fired, and she was. I put myself in her position, what would I do if I had a job I loved but had to make the decision to either deal with harassment or lose my job? The first thing that came to mind: Cool myself down for a while, and when I say a while I mean a few months or so, develop somewhat good relations with the harassers before killing them in their home. (my thoughts went into more detail about it).
This is just a recent example but this happens quite a bit. I don't have violent feeling towards anyone really (anymore) but my mind always does this. Dear god, please tell me someone else does this

    Interesting. You may be a good candidate to work for the CIA.

    It's normal to have violent thoughts, and it's okay as long as you don't act on them.

    I do this too, honestly. And I don't really worry about it, either because irl I'm really nice. I might have a half hour fantasy once a month or so about how I would go about killing (usually one of a few people from my past that I used to really hate) and how I'd do the whole thing.
    I don't know how common/normal it is, but I know I'd never do it in real life, and I think most people have some fantasies that they'd never do in real life that might be pretty extreme. That's why they're thoughts and not actions..

    Also, sometimes I just think about it more from a problem-solving perspective, like how to dispose of the body and get away with it etc. Sounds pretty pyscho to say it, but it also makes me realise how much I would never ever want to be in that position. So, I'd never do it...just think about it.

    I think it would only be normal if someone did something very bad to YOU to think about it. But as long as you don't actually do it I guess it's not so bad. Try not to think about it. Anger is a horrible thing to have. I know because I have been through hell. I know what it feels like.
