I am in the US and the politician being threatened was in Germany. I'm not talking at all about prosecution or legality of speech and its varying definitions under the law (of which I believe German law is more restrictive than here). I'm talking about Facebook interpreting their own rules, which I am pretty sure do not allow threats of violence. Also, I am in favor of free speech and open political discourse. I am not in favor of saying a politician in a democracy should be murdered. There may be edge cases in the law where that is not considered credible, however, in terms of my own personal ethics it is very unambiguous when that line is crossed, and I think that's true for others.
