That's actually quite HISTORIC language. The 'kill 'em all' is cited as actually been said during the period of the so-called Religious Wars in France in the 1500s ~ in one case by a Huguenot leader about the Guise faction, and in another case by a Guise faction leader about the Huguenots.

It shows up during the 30 years war several times, and it pops up here and there all the way to the modern age where 'glass parking lot' has exceeded it for vitriol.

Intelligent people understand it for the literary reference it is ~ unlearned people might imagine it to be something on the order of a real threat.

I'd say it's NOT worth a 'strong language/violence warning ' ~ whatever that is.
