Not only that, but that is only the first part of the sentence.

He didnt say "I'm going to shoot TexasDreams in the street".
Congrats, sir, that was perhaps one of the most idiotic posts ever on GFY, and that's saying a lot ...

Clearly, Alien was suggesting a mod on this board be "fired and shot", among lots of other very harsh words. That deserves a banning, whether there was a direct threat or for just being a loudmouth - his post was totally uncalled for. And I don't need to break the paragraph and sentences into tiny components to point that out.
