This article is about a case now before SCOTUS, but you have to read below the fold to find that out.

I didn't realize he was actually quoting someone. This is awful and should be overturned 9-0.

Should be overturned?! This guy was making multiple threats to multiple people, why should that be protected on the Internet? Personally, he was rightfully convicted and similar action should be taken to anyone making violent threats online. Making violent threats is not, in my opinion, an exercise in free speech. Or, put another way, there are consequences to what a person says, such as falsely crying fire in a theater or making a threat against a person.
