What does, or could, the phrase こんなヤツはこうだ！ mean?


My understanding is that it literally means "that guy is like this", but I
don't think I understand the connotation.




> こんなヤツはこうだ！

Usually, it'd mean something like 「こんなヤツはこうしてやる！」 _lit:_ "To someone like
this, I'll do _this_!" ( _this_ would usually be something unfavorable, such
as hitting, punching, smacking, etc...) You'd use this kind of phrase when
giving someone お仕置き(a punishment).
