To me and to any even semi-literate person, “taken out at dawn and shot” refers to lawful executions, usually in a military context. This is protected political speech that cannot be actionable simply because some “class A moron” decides to make death threats. Whatever loser, left-wing lawyer filed this case is a disgrace.
What happened is that Trump campaign's lawyer called Kreb a class A moron and he should be taken out at dawn and shot.
Am I right to assume that, nevertheless, this does not change the outcome?
