You’re giving him too much credit. He has no clue what he is talking about from a legal perspective.

What was in the email can certainly be deemed a threat.

Which part specifically?

Make the case.

A simple Google search reveals you don’t know what tf you are talking about.

The Supreme Court recently held in Counterman v. Colorado that, in a criminal prosecution
based on threatening communications, the First Amendment requires the government to prove that the
speaker had “some subjective understanding of the threatening nature of his statements.
”17 The Court held
that prosecutors need only prove that the speaker was “reckless,” meaning that he was aware “that others
could regard his statements as threatening violence and deliver[ed] them anyway”—not that he specifically
intended that his words would be received as a threat.


Lol some people shouldn't be allowed to use the internet.

What violence did he threaten?

In the email, Streever told Lyons he was "a monstrous human being" who "will never know peace" and will "go down in history as America's Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher," a reference to a Nazi leader. "The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness," Streever said in the email, according to the complaint.

"You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth," the email added.


If this is all there is I don’t see a true threat here. I imagine the authorities felt the same as this person was not arrested and charged.

Is the response, a simple warning, not subject to the same freedoms though?

I am also not sure as to the "harm" as basis for the suit. If he had been detained, arrested, financially impacted, I'd get it. Was he?

This is a reasonable take. However, if we are going to classify something as protected speech or not--this dichotomy shouldn't allow for shades of grey regarding enforcement. Meaning, if the speech is protected--whats the point of the warning. And if its not--legal action should be taken.

We also do not legitimately have the complete content of the guy's message(s) as far as I can tell. FWIW, someone sending that kind of message does not come across as a person who'd do it as a one-off. So there may be other messages.

Of course. I reserve the right to change my stance on this particular case if actually threatening messages are brought to light.

The absence of peace can reasonably be interpreted as a state of perpetual violence.

So you agree that, if I tell people walking into to an abortion clinic “you will never know peace,” I should be arrested?


Who was arrested?

Yes, and don't you think there are people in society who will never know peace due to some of their abhorrent prior actions? And if you tell them that, you are now threatening them?

Me thinking it vs me threatening them with that condition is where the distinction lies

Your ignorance gets called out and a Supreme Court case is cited…yet you still arrogantly attempt to belittle the person who is just trying to educate you. You’re a caricature.

You can interject the word "threatening" as much as you can. Doesn't mean its a "threat."

If I looked a convicted serial rapists who just got sentenced to life in the eyes and said "you will never know peace,"-- am I commenting on his prior actions or threatening his life?

You have cited the “legal definition of threat” many times. List it.

You don’t have the IQ to make anyone look foolish.

Meh... that's not a threat, he's telling the guy he'll never know peace within himself. Everything he writes in the parts posted on X is speaking about the ICE director conscious about what he's doing.

Im not agreeing with the email guy at all.
But there's no direct threat.

What about one that just got released?

See, context matters.
