Freedom of speech for so n e, not for all

I don't know what point you think you're making, but terroristic threats have always been a crime, regardless of the victim's politics.

“(Reuters) -U.S. federal authorities have arrested a man accused of sending dozens of threatening and violent messages to public officials he viewed as hostile to President Donald Trump’s agenda, charging him with threatening a member of Congress.

Geoffrey Giglio, a Trump supporter who has previously been questioned by at least four federal law enforcement agencies over similar conduct, was charged this week with threatening a member of U.S. Congress, transmitting interstate threats and making anonymous harassing communications, according to a federal complaint.

The charges stem from violent and profane messages Giglio allegedly left for U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat and frequent Trump critic.

According to the complaint, Giglio left a voicemail for Swalwell in March warning, “If you want to keep fighting, then we will come get you.” He referenced a .308 caliber rifle, saying, “I’ll just set up behind my .308 and I’ll do my job,” and ended the message with sexually explicit remarks about Swalwell’s wife.”

Wtf is wrong with you people?

Leaving voicemails gets you arrested

Burning n looting n rioting doesn't
 
Last I checked rioters do get arrested. I guess they often aren't found but we don't really live in a surveilance state where that is possible.
 
read Justice Holmes dissent over 100 years ago

not free to yell "fire" in a theater

admittedly, the line/distinction is thin, but violent threats to democratically elected official is the hill you want to charge up?
 
Trump sent marines to LA disturbance and assumed SOLE FEDERAL RESPONSIBILITY

so if folks weren't arrested -- if -- I guess it's Hillarys fault
