Yes, there was and is:
“Everyone identified and involved in this should be arrested, tried, and if convicted executed” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25661918
To which you responded:
“You are calling for murder, that’s not appropriate on this forum.” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25661942
Why lie about something so easy to verify?
There is an extreme version of a sham trial that could possibly qualify, but they were calling for a normal trial. They were very clearly not calling for summary execution with the phrase "arrested, tried, and if convicted"
It doesn't matter if the punishment fits the crime either. If I say convicted jaywalkers should get the death penalty, I am not calling for summary execution. It doesn't matter if I accuse them of the wrong crime either.
