As a moderator, I thought Lukas’s comment was fine.
I read it as a humorous version of “this doesn’t sound like something someone would say in those words”, or “I cast doubt on this being the actual thing someone said, because people generally don’t make threats that are this obvious/open”.
Reading between the lines, I saw the comment as “approaching a disagreement with curiosity” by implying a request for clarification or specification (“what did you actually hear someone say”?). Others seem to have read the same implication, though Lukas could have been clearer in the first place and I could be too charitable in my reading.
Compared to this comment, I thought Lukas’s added something to the conversation (though the humor perhaps hurt more than helped).

On a meta level, I upvoted David’s comment because I appreciate people flagging things for potential moderation, though I wish more people would use the Report button attached to all comments and posts (which notifies all mods automatically, so we don’t miss things):
