@taiwan_girl said in McCarthy - More Lawfare:
And I am gay and I feel threatened by their talk about wanting all gay people dead.
@taiwan_girl The important word you wrote is "Feel."
That's subjective, not absolute. If you're wearing a blue shirt, and I hate blue, is it an offense for me to say, "I hate blue" because it makes you feel uncomfortable?
Wanting you to die because you wore a blue shirt, and saying I want you to die because you wore a blue shirt, is not a "credible threat."
Now, look at the case again.
A poll-watcher saw something he thought was fishy. That's his job. After a contentious meeting with "Mr. Fishy" he left the room, and said to SOMEONE ELSE "Hang Mr. Fishy for treason."
ANOTHER PERSON heard it and reported it as a terrorist threat.
Now, that's not quite up to the level of David French saying that someone needs to put a bullet in Trump, but I digress...
