Dear SJackson,

I note that your links indicate that it is a difficult area in which to prosecute. I note as well, from the ADL site, this:

"Blanket statements expressing hatred of an ethnic, racial or religious nature are protected by the First Amendment, even if those statements mention individual people and even if they cause distress in those individuals."

I think that unless specific threats were made pretty specifically, and with a high degree of credibility (two factors cited by the ADL link), the disruptor would likely skate.

I also noted that many of the forms of redress are civil in nature, few of them are criminal. As I said, I think a civil suit is probably not that tough to make out.

But I'm skeptical that any prosecutor will take the case.

I'd say the probability approaches zero. There's nothing here, barring more specificity, kill SJackson rather than kill the Jews, which I doubt would even be enough, or direct action.

I won't even touch the liklihood of most prosecutors taking a difficult to prove case essentially in defense of the "vast right wing conspiracy".
