What country don't deal with violent threats against their politician seriously? Are you suggesting people should act as if threats are protected speech
Yes. Until the person takes an action like bringing a rifle to within range of the president and actually attempting to assassinate said president, then it's free speech and you should stop being a fascist.
Making threats isn't a capital offense but it's also jot protected speech. It never has been.
Making threats with intent to carry them out and ability to do so is not protected speech. The tricky part is proving intent to actually carry out the threat like having written plans.
