    What law did he break? Please cite it.

    Also if the consequences of “free speech” is being summarily executed or jailed, that isn’t really free speech is it? Do i have the freedom to rob a bank, but not the freedom from the consequences of robbing the bank?

      The warrent had 3 counts: interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat

      Also free speech is shit like: Biden is a terrible president and I fucking hate this country

      Talking about how you should grab your ghillie + rifle to great the president is crossing the line

        There’s even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:

        "I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote

        "The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”

        "Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.
