Why Isn't Johnny Depp Under Arrest?

Because we're not that insecure.

Hate speech is protected speech in the US. Not defending what he said, but take a look across the Atlantic where people are being rounded up for relatively generic Facebook posts.

Threatening presidents is not free speech. (I showed you the law, read it), what they are doing overseas, is criminlaizing criticism of Islam. Apples and oranges.

Pull yourself together, princess. Johnny Depp isn't going to murder the President.

Some of us can tell the difference between liberal bed-wetters stomping their feet in frustration and legitimate threats on the President's life. And this difference, dumbass, is why Depp isn't going to be arrested.

It may be that it was indirect. He didn’t say, “I’m going to XYZ,”

then he needs to be hauled in for 48 hours to explain himself. At the very least.

Every time one of them gets away with threatening Trump it paves the way for the james Hodgkinsons to go act on it.

Not at all defending what he said, but a good dose of caution is warranted when it comes to criminal prosecution of speech. Again, not defending what he said at all.

Not when it comes to threatening a president. Look what happened to the rodeo clown that imitated Obama and he didn;t even do anything. Do you really think the left is going to reciprocate respect for speech if we let their violations of the law go unpunished? Not a chance.

Yeah you are brilliant LOL---"Let liberals get away with stuff, that's always the best policy."

What are you? a Never Trumper, a Paul Ryan fan, or a DU troll?

What happened to the rodeo clown? Was he investigated and arrested for something? A Google search does not find that such a thing happened.

Just because you are free to say anything does not relieve you of the consequences from it

Which jail would he go to?
Men’s or with all the makeup and jewelry he wears a women’s prison.

He might be in trouble at the box office....that is the best place to hit him.

Far too late for that -- he's already stuffed his millions into Swiss bank accounts. He could not care less.

Nope, he is having financial problems. Spends like a drunken Sailor. Creditors closing in. You can Google it. This last Pirate movie will prop him up a bit.

Unfortunately, I watched “Public Enemies” last night. Damn I, I wish all these brain dead people would just keep their foul mouths shut.

Why isn't Hillary Clinton under arrest? Why wasn't Madonna arrested? Why aren't the dozens that have threatened the life of President Trump been arrested?

Yep. If you only earn $20 million per film but you spend money like a person who earns $25 million per film, eventually you will have problems.

This guy too......

Speaking about the shooting at the baseball game....

."His whole job is to get people, convince Republicans to f---ing kick people off f---ing health care.. I hate this motherf---er,.. I’m glad he got shot,”....stated Phil Montag Nebraska Co-Chairman for Democratic Technology Committee.....“I wish he was f---ing dead,” he added later. (Montag was reported to the police and kicked off the Committee)

I did Google it — I’m really surprised. I thought he was much smarter than that. I liked his acting until he started playing the swishy pirate.
