No one actually ever means it. It's a colloquialism, "they should get slapped." That's why I said it's the internet. People talk about how Trump should get smacked, talk about how they would punch someone. It's pretty clear they don't actually mean that it should really happen. Especially when talking about people who supposedly lived 2000 years ago.
Maybe I am being a little over sensitive ever since an AF member wished someone would kill people like me. I think if you look at his prior two posts you'll understand why I took it seriously.
