Valerie provided you with a good link as far as abuse reporting goes.  If you use public sandboxes, you will need that info.  Most sandboxes will get a visit from griefers sooner or later.  By all means, report them.  It's the only real recourse you have and sooner or later, if enough complaints get filed, LL will eventually deal with the griefer.  Problem is that it is far too easy to make free, anonymous accounts here and some folks have a hobby out of dealing grief here.  Some have raised it to almost an artform.

I would advise against "shooting back" at them especially if they are running in packs like that.  It is a known trick for griefers to draw someone else into a TOS violation (claiming self defense won't cut it) and then file abuse reports on their victim.  Remember there are several of them so they can file multiple reports...

The best thing to do when a sandbox gets infested with griefers is to simply file the AR and move on to another sandbox.  There are many many sandboxes in SL.  Find several that you like and if one has a griefer problem, move on to the next one for your building happiness.  Look around for a few nice ones.

If you are just building and do not require the use of scripts in your project, many sandboxes have scripts disabled.  This prevents griefers from using most of their tools.
