> dies a forever painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and hammers go flying everywhere

Full quote. This is ridiculous, and to me looks more than a little tongue in cheek.

Hoping for people's death isn't good, but this isn't a threat. It's an expression of frustration, and people think these things, and sometimes say them out loud. And there's a huge power imbalance here.
