Yes, but generally we try to negotiate with the hostage taker before shooting him, if it comes to that. If they can do this to one citizen they can do it to any citizen. At the very least they should have a trial in absentia on criminal charges, to revoke his citizenship, or something.

That's what I was talking about. A bit tired this morning not presenting clear thoughts. I don't think you need to revoke the citizenship just declare them insurrectionists.
