I see the correlation of the actors now, but I still don't agree with this: "You can't let threats (or acts) of violence influence what is protected speech and what isn't." We can, and we do. Look at the suicide of Tyler Clementi and the resulting sentencing of Dharun Ravi [1]. Look at the case of the anti-abortion wanted-posters [2]. The protection of free speech is not black and white. I understand that this makes people uneasy, but you can't have black & white distinctions in a population greater than one.
