Do you ever wish you could just say "these people should be killed"

So I left it there for a couple minutes, then I get a reply from someone saying "someone report this guy, he's going to be the next school shooter!" So I quickly deleted the comment, because I obviously wouldn't be able to get away with saying something like that. Doesn't it kind of suck though that we as people can't just talk like that? I mean I would never kill someone myself, but often when I am really pissed off at people for whatever reason, all I want to say is "well they should be fucking killed and I want to kill that son of a bitch". You can't really say that though, not in the society we live in today, where the cops are going to come busting down your door or something. It's sad to me though, I wish that I could just say "we should kill ______" or "kill all __________" as much as I want. 

What would be your better judgment? Do you ever feel like speaking this way? If you don't then what is a better way of thinking, which helps you avoid thinking this way? I admit, I get pretty angry at stuff and I sometimes just wish that I could just start talking about my actual feelings.

If you say you wish you could kill people, you have no business getting bothered when people take you at your word.

I've found that I'm able to express my feelings more precisely by using nuanced language.  Rather than saying "Joe Blow should be killed," for instance, I'll just say that he should be shot in the face with rocksalt, or have his eyes poked out. The ridiculousness of the phrasing tips my hand that I'm not being serious, and spares me the odium of people who don't know.

But then again, I stay off Facebook for the most part.

Never make categorical statements. When I was in the USAF I learned that making a qualified statement like "It is my considered opinion that that stupid Colonel -------------should be killed practically assured you wouldn't find yourself in any trouble. However saying something like (in a fit of anger) "I'll kill that son-fo-a-bitch Col ------" regardless of the situation could and probably would get you in a great big puddle of poo.
