The lead character in ''Death Merchant'' has a policy of killing people who learn his real identity, friend or foe, and in ''COBRA'' the "heroes" even go so far as to kill local law enforcement to protect their mission.

So you have to kill everyone in the room. Or, possibly, the city.
Similar to ShootEverythingThatMoves, but that trope is more about the situation where everything you see is a threat. In ''this'' case, people would be more than happy to leave you alone, but that just doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

! Examples
!!Film
* ''JudgeDredd'', in the page quote. After a shuttle carrying prisoners to Aspen Penal colony crashes, a rescue/capture team is sent to locate Dredd, a convict on the flight. The Capture Team Leader reports to Judge Griffin; Judge Griffin spells it all out.
* A similarly creepy exchange in ''MonstersInc'':
-->'''Waternoose:''' Get up! There can't be any witnesses.
-->'''Randall:''' There won't be.
!! Live Action TV
* In the {{Firefly}} episode "Ariel", the blue-gloved operatives come to pick up River and Simon from the Alliance police who've arrested them. When the lead policemen mentions that they'd talked to the prisoners, the operatives kill every policeman involved in the arrest.
!!Literature
* The ''DoctorWho'' spin-off novel ''The Eyeless'' features an alien superweapon that turns out to be part of an extremely thorough attempt to remove all witnesses: not only did they kill the witnesses, they destroyed the entire planet they were on and then ''every other planet that could see that planet through telescopes or whatever''.
!! Western Animation
* Spoofed in ''KingOfTheHill'', where Dale tells Hank to dispose of the witnesses to a minor accident.
* ''TheSimpsons'', when Lisa unearths what looks like an angel:
-->'''Lisa:''' It could be anything, it could be a mutant from the nuclear plant.
-->'''Burns:''' D'oh! Fiddle-faddle, everyone knows our mutants have flippers. Oh! I've said too much. Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
-->'''Smithers:''' [[DeadlyEuphemism You mean the revolver, sir?]]
-->'''Burns:''' Precisely. Be sure to wipe your own memory clear when you've finished.
!!Video Game
* From a mission in TheForceUnleashed: "The Emperor must not discover your presence. kill everyone aboard, imperials and Kota's men alike."
* The final mission of ''{{Hitman}}: Blood Money'' features Agent 47 [[spoiler:reviving at his own funeral and killing everyone who saw him do it (including an innocent priest and a quadriplegic)]], and, in the process, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge taking his revenge]] on the people who've been screwing him over for the entire game.
