Angry Eric seems to conflate “Free Speech” with “Hate Speech”.
And while the government states you have the right to free speech, that doesn’t insulate you from the consequences of that speech. If you claim you are going to kill the President of the United States, rest assured you will likely be receiving attention from law enforcement agencies.
If you claim you are going to overthrow the government because you lost an election, and people follow your call to arms, you will be investigated and if evidence warrants, will be prosecuted for Insurrection and Sedition.
If you yell “Fire” or “Shooter” in a crowded theater and people are injured because they stampeded to get out, you will be arrested and tried.
But Angry Eric doesn’t care about that. Angry Eric only seems to care about “Consequence-Free Speech” to vent his spleen about.

Yeah. Anyone should be able to say hateful things, lie and stir up violence.

Allie may believe in “Rights” … But does he believe in “Responsibilities?”

Sorry, but it’s Republicans who are attacking free speech wherever they disagree. Universities, schools, libraries….

If Melon is so fond of free speech, why is he constantly banning people on Twit who say anything negative about him?

A law the forbids the use of threats to use deadly force against anyone or encouraging others to do so as attempted murder should do the trick.
