There's an actual case to be made for what you're suggesting. The fact that the people who call the shots have been democratically elected could be taken to mean that the people that voted for them/him (and possibly even the people who refrained from voicing their objections by rising up) should be held responsible for their implicit consent. This does not necessarily mean we should kill them all, but I trust you get the idea.

While I realise this is wildly off-topic, I just wanted to illustrate the point that your analogy is flawed, farfetched and generally useless.
