Garret A. Miller of Dallas County, Texas has been charged additionally for making death threats. His attorney claims it was simply misguided political hyperbole. Not so.

If you have seen death threats, or even veiled threats of political violence on social media or online forums, hit the report button to create an electronic trail (and hold moderators/site administrators accountable) and take screenshots with time stamps. You never know when law enforcement may have interest in them .

More arrests and criminal charges to come, stay tuned.

Why didn't the idiots think of that when they were videotaping themselves without masks on and rummaging through Congress Paperwork? LOL. "Oh we gotta find something that will nail these F'ers"... While on camera. Brilliant people. Master criminals arent they, Trump's base is?

Note that Kathy Griffin was questioned by Secret Service within hours of posting herself with a mask and ketchup. Threats against elected officials are taken very seriously.

Does calling a left wing politician a swamp creature meet FBI criterion for hate speech?

No, but calling for the assassination of AOC falls under free speech exceptions. Hope this helps.

Pretty sure it wouldn't. Now, could be more likely if you posted a picture of something that illustrated drowning said politician in a swamp, or other actual threats.
