It's not a call for violence, not even indirectly -- he's not suggesting that they should be shot, only that they will face violence and that they had it coming.

Right, he's only proclaiming that he'd be happy if they were shot...

The literal words: "I'll happily provide video commentary."

The shooting happens when the revolution happens, which is unavoidable outcome of their behavior: "are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the revolution".

Right-wing persecution complex is so funny.

The only people who are shot as an unavoidable consequence of their own actions are people who commit suicide or shoot themselves by accident.

Anything else is consequence of someone else’s intent to kill them, or negligence.
