Obligatory disclaimer: I hold no racial animus toward American Indians. Grew up with them, hung out with them, admire and like them.

That said, it is abhorrent that speech, however offensive, can get you arrested. Punched in the mouth and roundly thumped, sure, but we should have learned this lesson from George Orwell.

The FBI could have played him along and offered to provide the means to carry out his plans , like they do with ISIS sycophants, and then made the arrest. The way it is , probably a lawyer will get the charges dismissed

Another Democrat lunatic?

Have the Navajos been hit hard by the virus?

[rktman]

What an idiot. It’s hanta(sp) virus. And yes, I went to high scrool with quite a few in Albuquerque. Mid 60’s time frame.

[McGavin999]

Navajos are some of the nicest people around. BIG hearts.

The Navajo Nation president is busting his keister trying to get the reservation to adhere to some type of stay at home and distancing orders. He instituted a nightly curfew from 8pm to 5am which undoubtedly has not worked as he has now called for a complete curfew of 57 hours from April 10 thru 13.

The Navajo tribe is not the only hot spot, the small Pueblos in NM just recorded a huge infection count attributing NM increased infected count just yesterday.

I will say that the natives I guess just have no understanding of not mingling. Just this morning having to stop at a grocery I had to repeatedly move away from native shoppers that sidle beside you. Distancing seems a foreign construct to them at times. I have lived in a town bordering the reservation for 50 years so am well attuned to native customs. Their president is trying, but dear god when he has to shut it all down for 2 1/2 days because they just aren't getting it, you have to feel for the man and his struggle.

It depends on the phrasing he used but if what he said is a true threat, then that is legally actionable.

Bellyaching about a group is protected. Making a threat you have the means to carry out is not.

[Gene Eric]

In general, how is the promotion of mass murder a free speech concern?

I realize the Muslims and Left get away with it, but it shouldn’t be tolerated.

[FormerFRLurker]

Any incitement to violence is a crime and not protected by the First Amendment.

[Nifster]

When you are calling for the killing of people that ain’t speech. That is a terroristic threat

This guy is an a$& hat

[NativeSon]

I agree, I bet that many Navajo would agree.

[sergeantdave]

If leftists can threaten to murder Trump, then threatening to kill Indians is also permitted.

Arrest the Arizona cops for violating this man’s civil rights.

(The US is going bat-chit crazy)

Obligatory disclaimer: It says a lot about your real character that you would defend someone promoting the murder of a race of people. Freak
