Meditation and breathing exercises are a good way of handling those kinds of thoughts. I've always had a lot of anger in me as well, with the "desire for justice", but I found some relief from calming techniques.
When you get angry like that the body is going into fight or flight mode, and is responding primarily with the fight response. By relaxing the body through those techniques you're basically telling it that it's okay, and that the threat doesn't need that response right now.
