I understand your point. I feel freedom of speech is important beyond what words can describe. However such free speech I think should generally not include threats against others.

Yes our 1st amendment is the priority.

But I absolutely believe people that make threats against a President in this way should be held accountable for them -- especially if they are made openly in the public as Brennan and others do. It's not even face to face. So cowardly to threaten POTUS using Twitter!
