True threats aren't free-speech and are not covered under the 1A, but this was simply an idiot.
As I consider some FTF meets with those in my general area, hard, fast rules of stupid-talk needs to be topic number one. Don't do it, don't post about it, don't recommend it. We shouldn't fear peaceful assembly, but certain topics are taboo for a reason and will only end in discomfort, embarrassment, and major expenses. I'm all for fighting for freedom and supporting my Oath to the Constitution, but there are hundreds of ways to do it locally that are legal, positive, and productive...we need to truly exhaust those efforts first.
