When a school shooter performs the act, and is then found to have made public statements, and written a “manifesto”, people are outraged at the fact that no one did anything, prior to the act.
Here you have the public statement. Are you advocating doing nothing, until the next step? Don’t be ridiculous!
This is incitement, conspiracy, or premeditation of an act, and needs to be closely scrutinized prior to that act.

Not at all. I suspect you mis-read, or mis-interpreted my comment.

I stated that threats of violence need to be investigated and death threats to the President warrant an SS visit and criminal charges. Manifestos and online posts calling for violence warrant action.

I also stated that merely saying "F*** Trump" (or Biden or Obama or GWB) or their supporters is not a threat, it's a statement of contempt and is protected political speech.

I thought the distinction I drew was pretty clear. Surely you don't advocate that the police investigate every American who shouted "F*** Joe Biden" (or "Let's Go Brandon") at a sports event, or who wrote such things online.
