I think I would first put the valuables away as you would with a small child. When the anger would be starting, I would ask him to take it outside. The house is no place for anger. Maybe he can pound on a tree or something. It sounds as if he should explore some resources for dealing with the anger before it gets to the violent stage.

Actually throwing things while he is angry also is a form of abuse, it could be that he trying to gain control over the whole situation, and by throwing things it allows him to feel like he has power over your aunt, also beware of people that throw thing while angry, because he may wind up being a physically abusive man.

These were my thoughts exactly but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and present the approach that you would use with a child throwing a fit first. My sister had a son who could not control his temper. She finally told him that he was not allowed to throw a fit in the house. The next time he went to throw a fit, he walked from the dining room down the hallway and out the front door. In that period of time, he realized how stupid he was acting and brought that under control. As for throwing things, tolerating that one time is one too many times. The person that tolerates these unacceptable behaviors needs as much help as the person doing the actions.

Well when I get mad at someone I usally play videogames wich I think is a good way of redcing your anger or controlling it. Especially playing games like grand theft auto 4 is the perfect way of controlling you anger. If you get mad at someone and want to kill them play that game for a few hours and you will be just fine afterwards lol.

Anger is defined as a temporary madness. Many people are there who really forget the right and wrong when they are heated up. That your aunt's husband regrets later is his real self. And here he needs a bit of counseling either by a counselor or a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
This is too much in certain people and they really need treatment or when they get angry anything they could do. Even a murder is not remote possibility.
