You do not have a right to threaten others.
You have no right to make decisions on behalf of the American public. That's why we vote.
You have no right to demand revolution because your candidate was defeated.

You can't yell fire in a crowded theater.
Do these have to be added as an amendment to the Constitution before you'll accept them or can you use a little common sense?

This is AMERICA. We have FREEDOM OF SPEECH. With that being said, and just for the hell of it, I hope the other 534 die painful deaths and BURN IN HELL. How's that for free speech? Wow our rights are just a huge joke now.

Getting your point across is one thing. Wishing death on other human beings is another. You should know this is a reprehensible thing to say even if you're just trying to make a point.

I don't disagree with your sentiments, but even if what he said is reprehensible, it is not illegal.
Example:
Fact: Many people in the US wish death on Muslims. It's stupid thinking, but that thinking clearly exists, but again it is not against the law.

I'm not calling into question the legality of what he said. Rather, I am commenting on the complete lack of morality and ethics in such a statement.

It's a stupid thing to say whatever the context. In comedy one would laugh at the stupidity of the remark. If ones emotions would be so great that he bursts out those words he damn well has to show that he can put his money where his mouth is or he will be the one to turn cold.
Words have value and if they are valued greater by the person at whom the words are directed to it's not unfair to expect the quarterback to pull out a gun and shoot the fan.
I'm sure you get my point. If not I will kill you.

Short, Concise and 100% accurate!
Wrong! Learn what constitutes a threat. This is not a threat.
