re: that one guy with the pop pop hand sign – he should be prosecuted for inciting a hate crime
finally, it’s always interesting to see how crazy, ill-informed (ok i’m being kind) folks can behave – reminds us about John Adams fear of “the mob” and the founders’ call for a strong gov’t in the form of the rule of law……
Incitement of violence towards political leaders should be prosecutable (though I speak from complete ignorance of that area of law).
At a minimum, political speech that references violence is an assault on our democracy. Free speech has limits; as a nation, we can not afford to lose leaders to the criminality of a violent mob mentality or the crazy assassin.
