Because this was a civil case ... it is not about violation of the 1st Amendment ... it is about the consequences of one's actions and the words they choose
#2 Is this particular case likely to be overturned on appeal?
IMO ... I doubt it

Thank you for your civil post. I’m having difficulty understanding how someone can win a civil case against someone for a constitutionally protected activity. For example, my right to bear arms is guaranteed. Let’s say I carry my weapon openly. Could a neighbor sue me for feeling threatened and/or intimidated? Even if they could sue, how could they possibly win, thereby restricting my right to bear arms, since my right is guaranteed? Please explain.
