It depends on the situation, but usually no-one can resist a little sweet revenge no matter what happened to them.

Backstabbers are on the bottom of the food-chain.

People who do wrong should suffer for it. That is the bedrock of any system of morality. How you define back-stabbing, and what the punishment should be for it, is, of course, open to debate. Since you haven't given us any details of the particular circumstance you have in mind, it's impossible for us to reach any judgement about it.

In general, the legal system imperfectly embodies the community's sense of morality and sanctions certain punishments in reponse to certain morally transgressive acts. Undoubtedly, it has many flaws and does not properly capture all wrongful actions. Sometimes this inclines people to take the business of punishment into their own hands. This may be justifiable in some cases but not others. Matthew Beck went on a shooting spree at his place of work because he was aggrieved about the way he had been treated by his employers. His grievance may even have been legitimate, but his reaction was undoubtedly excessive.

It's wrong for personal trust to be breached. The person wronged feels hurt and betrayed. Those people that breach a person's trust should be severely reprimanded.

As incredibly good as revenge feels, it's not right, even if the person deserves a thousand horrible deaths. To be the bigger person would be to step back and love your enemy as God says to do. They'll get what's coming to them. If you don't believe in God, then my opinion isn't really relevant, but it's still not nice to harm someone.

Revenge is not the way to go. When people betray your trust or hurt you emotionally in some way, there is no reason to hold unto your anger and try to get even. This is why so many people carry around stress and tension. Let it go. Let that person do whatever they have to to make themselves feel better and you be the better person and let it go.

There will be times you have to stand up and fight for yourself. If it happens to be against a backstabber then it may definitely be justification for a fight.

HOWEVER, every single living person is human and eventually screws up. Even a person who outright loves you will occasionally mess with you whether intentional or not. What are you going to do, apply eye for an eye with every living person? If someone steals your parking place are you going to slash their tire? If a co-workers weasels ahead for a promotion before you are you going to shred their project? That's a hard way to live, and soon everyone will be looking at you as the backstabber.

Haven't you heard of the saying "What Comes Around Goes Around?" This is a true saying you may or may have not gotten to the point were you have ever planted a SEED. And whatever type of seed you planted good or bad, it comes back to you - good or bad. It's a universal law you will reap what you sow. Even though you may or may not see that persons demise, rest assured they will get it back somehow and some way. (Of course, it's ALWAYS GOOD) when we can see it or hear of their pay back but when we exercise revenge tactics on someone who has hurt us but we interfere with the natural course of the universal law. Even though we may feel good about it and justified with our actions of getting them back or getting even, then they have made us stoop to our lower selves that makes us just as wrong as the person that has done wrong to us. So, now they have hurt us, disappointed us and last but not least we allow them to control or emotions.

What I am really saying is that God says . . ."Vengeance is Mine ..... I Will Repay."

 Backstabbers soon get found out, they are always putting people down, and telling trusted secrets to others, and then the other person instantly knows what kind of person the backstabber is, and should tell them straight away that they shouldn't have betrayed a confidence. They are probably thinking what's that backstabber going to say behind my back, too, afterwards.
