Below is an excerpt from Twitter’s official support page.
Do not threaten, incite, glorify, or express a desire for violence or harm. Twitter is a place where people can express themselves, find out what’s happening, and discuss global issues. However, healthy conversations go awry when violent speech is used to convey a message.

Twitter makes it clear that users cannot wish or expect harm or say they want to do something wrong. “This includes, but is not limited to, wishing that another person die, become ill, be hurt in tragedy, or have some other physically harmful thing happen to them.” People get into trouble when you tell them to hurt themselves.
Social media companies consider sarcasm and jokes between friends, discussions about video games and sporting events, but this may not happen until someone goes through the appeals process. If Twitter decides otherwise, a single strike can result in a permanent suspension. If a user violates the rules more than her 2 times, the user may be permanently banned. Even in this situation, people can still appeal.
