Violating command of Quran to stay within house, opposing the rightful caliph, the brother of the Messenger, by going at the head of army of rebels which besieged Basra, imprisoned its governor and officers (executed a number of them), and then waged a battle against the Imam’s army (thus initiating first civil war in community), leading to the deaths of thousands (so many that a trench had to be dug to bury the bodies) is hardly what one would call a justifiable reaction…

Yes, it was not justifiable. Those who felt it was justified were clearly in error. I don’t think you will find a Sunni alive for the last 1200 years who would say it was a correct action to do.
