When intention trumps proper grammar,
you get statements such as ‘Don’t nobody do nothing!”
which is a double-negative. Of course, to point that out, you’d be called names.

Aw, you stole my punchline. I was going to point out that grammatically, “Nobody kill anybody” should be rendered “Don’t nobody kill nobody,” or “Ain’t nobody kill nobody.”
