Mostly magpies are relocated if they get too agressive, and they do sometimes. And speaking as a passionate birder with many years of experience being harassed by wildlife (and harassing it back on occasion) I still find the sensation of being swooped by them alarming and unpleasant, and have felt the feeling of alarm and worry when I approach a site with an agressive bird on a commute or walk. I’m not surprised people take drastic action against them on occasion.
