Assassination threats against Trump flood Twitter | New York Post

I cant help but recall the major firestorm over Milo Yianpolous getting his account banned because he criticized an actress. Banned!

Yet, i also cannot help but notice all these dopey moronic SJW's openly calling for assassinating Trump, and they get re-tweeted thousands of times. What gives?

I'm not sure but threatening the President of President Elect is a felony.
There should be prosecutions , these SJW probably don't realize that it's not free speech.
Also there is no guarantee of free speech on Twitter or any other privately owned platform.

I believe the CEO is a lefty so he probably just ignores it. If Hillary won and it was the other way around I'm pretty sure things would be different.

These idiots might find themselves receiving a not so friendly visit from the secret service. A guy in my small town once posted a threat as a joke on facebook and the secret service showed up at his workplace and busted right into his office and talked to him directly.

Couldn't Twitter perhaps be a coconspirator if they just allow these threats and take no action?...

People have been arrested for posting such things about Obama. Perhaps the FBI should be contacted. Twitter wouldn't want to remove the evidence.

Sounds about right to me. Twitter should be disabling such accounts.

EG Williams (The Doctor of common sense) posted a video right after the secret service visited him at his home after criticising Obama.

Obama abused his power when it came to criticism.

Someone on CNN just said Twitter is flooded with death threats against Trump and they're having to sort through those and deal with them. Between that and the threats being spewed with protesters, they have their hands full, to be sure.

Is Hillary still receiving SS protection? She is out, so they no longer need to be there. Of course Bill still will get protection for the rest of his life, but Hillary?
