I can't understand why anyone, who really wanted to use PMs to remove from power a person they object to, would call for harm (and create a lightening rod for regulation and law enforcement) when then they could just as easily wager on whether that person would, for example, still hold that position on a certain date. This would not at all imply a call for violence as the wager, and the intent, could reasonably otherwise be satisified.
