Anything that could be considered a real threat, is not protected under 'freedom of speech' and the 1st amendment. However, if this had been taken to court, the likelihood is, it would of been thrown out.
I agree where is the justice, how has it been seen to have been done?
Trial by social media is usually frowned upon isn't it? Not when it involves people with money and power.
If there is a case let it be heard and let the guy have his day in court.
Democracy and the right to trial....No?
