expressing support for Cold Blooded Murder sounds like an idol threat to me at the very least

The poster was questioning the word you used.

He was making the point that an “idol” and “idle” have two very different meanings.

There are very specific and distinct laws about making “threats.” Unless you are threatening the President, idle threats are just that….idle. Obviously, they point towards a state of mind, but they are not actionable.
