Protecting the right of citizens to speak against the government is a far cry from murder threats. The First Amendment’s intent is to reign in the government from going after people who criticize it.

It is not license to incite anarchy and murder and say whatever you want without repercussions.

Yelling *Fire!* in a crowded theater is not protected *free speech*, either.

Someone calling for the death of another needs to be taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.

What specifically are you referring to? This?

“Off to the m*****f***ing gallows with you.”

It was protected speech at 01/06. It’s protected speech at GWU. It’s stupid speech. But it’s protected.
