Well, most of them you can shoot and kill but ya gotta be careful

some are mentally retarded and so not liable to be tried/executed as terrorists

Can we use the Texas standard of mental retardation? It's just a matter of time before the NEW SCOTUS overturns Atkins v Virginia. Why wait for that? If they can plan ahead enough to have shoes on, they are clearly fair game.

If Donald "The Impeached" Trump can talk about shooting someone down on 5th Ave in Manhattan, there's precedent and therefore such speak shouldn't be considered illegal ;)

He hasn't just talked about it, his lawyers actually made the argument that him doing so should not subject him to investigation or prosecution.

If Trump Shoots Someone on 5th Ave., Does He Have Immunity? His Lawyer Says Yes

A federal appeals panel on Wednesday expressed skepticism that President Trump had a right to block state prosecutors in Manhattan from enforcing a subpoena that sought his personal and corporate tax returns for the last eight years.
The judges on a three-member panel in Manhattan peppered a lawyer for Mr. Trump with questions, expressing skepticism about the president’s argument that he was immune from criminal investigation. A lower court judge earlier this month rejected Mr. Trump’s claim, which has not previously been tested in the courts.
Carey R. Dunne, the Manhattan district attorney’s general counsel, cited the president’s famous claim that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without losing political support.
Mr. Dunne asked what would happen in that extreme scenario? “Would we have to wait for an impeachment proceeding to be initiated?” he said.
Later, Judge Denny Chin posed the Fifth Avenue hypothetical to William S. Consovoy, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, and asked for his view.

“Local authorities couldn’t investigate? They couldn’t do anything about it?” Judge Chin asked, adding: “Nothing could be done? That’s your position?”

“That is correct. That is correct,” Mr. Consovoy said.
