This is an actual thing that right wingers believe: That if the government just starts mass executing people and doesn’t stop, everything will be fine. Better than ever, even.

    So in vaguery of practice, “executing” a “violent criminal” could just mean murdering (without trial) someone who is resisting arrest and then calling their resistance violence after the fact. The end result of which is, if you don’t like the prevailing laws and oppose them, you could face being gunned down without a trial.

    When the definition of “violence” could mean anything from an armed robbery to throwing your phone on the ground or raising your voice, this is pretty clearly just a “Kill all the [x] people” fantasy. Guarantee this guy isn’t expecting most of the executions to be white men.
