The #guillotine example is actually pretty perfect because yes, that was what happened. Mass executions in which the powerless were executed to satisfy the #bloodthirst of the #mob. There's a reason it was referred to as the #ReignOfTerror.

And when marginalized groups who tend to be executed in these "#revolutions" express concern about mass violence from their neighbours, this is the rationale used: your fear is justification for your #execution.
