Why not? If you want someone to (not) do something, you need to provide a compelling rationale. Otherwise you're trying to compel some based on your personal preference.

Personally I think wild hyperbole is funny and effective at making a point, so my preference is that the poster continue.

To me, calls for violence are exactly the dividing line between free speech and restricted speech. Show extreme judgement when invoking violent imagery.

OK. Advocating violence is a crime. And text-based communication is notoriously difficult medium to express sarcasm and irony. Crimes are bad, mmmmkay?
