Those examples can all be considered performance art and are protected. Erecting a gallow outside of the Capitol with a mob of angry rioters chanting about hanging Pence isn't really comparable. Those threats should be considered real, not performance art. It's not entertainment, it's real. Pull your head in mate.

You can google "antifa guillotine" or "blm guillotine" and see the same thing but against trump/bezos/unpopular governor

  Did they then storm federal buildings where the persons they were chanting about hanging were in residence?

    I seem to recall them throwing molotovs and firebombs at police and police stations

It isn't good for the people considered to be the smartest in the world to be so rabidly against one political side. Here's documented evidence of violence of an appalling kind outside police precincts and city halls: https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/1289093614165831680?lang=en https://twitter.com/mrandyngo/status/1289093614165831680?lan... We must draw the line on behavior, not political affiliation. We otherwise risk irreparable harm to the fundamental freedoms we all enjoy.

    Mate, this is getting silly. Here's what you said one comment ago: >Erecting a gallow outside of the Capitol with a mob of angry rioters chanting about hanging Pence isn't really comparable. Those threats should be considered real, not performance art. It's not entertainment, it's real. Pull your head in mate. I'm linking you to a video showing a mob enacting an act of killing a symbolic cop and literally saying they'll do it and wearing Tshirts with the slogan "Kill Cops" or variants of that phrase. You may choose to read this comment and instinctively pull up the reply box to try and justify your position and defend it further, but i'd implore you to realize that this is not about you or me. I assume the both of us want what's best for this country and what we're seeing here with two differing standards of judgement and law for two political positions differing only in political affiliation, is not something i'd expect you or anyone as intelligent as someone working in the tech sector to be defending.

      > I'm linking you to a video showing a mob enacting an act of killing a symbolic cop Once again, BLM protests to my knowledge did not ever result in LE personnel being murdered. So I can't really see these sorts of things as comparable given on the one hand you have vague threats and on the other hand you have a police being bludgeoned to death. Saying your going to kill police could be protected as free speech as we've already covered; killing police is not. Also, I find it curious you seem to want to a) take the high ground yet b) only use BLM/antifa examples in your conversation. Finally, your views about the tech sector seem wildly out of touch; you do realise that tech is predominantly a left leaning industry, correct?
