THere were actually 4 separate points in that post. All in response to 4 different points that Ong made. They're all separated neatly so you can follow each exchange easily. Do you need extra help with this?

You weren't saying that the person has every right to threaten to shoot up a school because you have the same right to threaten people in public?
The Ong quote, to which I was responding, makes no mention of 'threatening to shoot up a school'. He mentioned posing with guns, celebrating the anniversary of a shooting, and expressing vague aspirations of being a mass shooter. All of those are protected speech. I assume you're laser-focused on the aspirations of being a mass shooter. But that's not "threatening to shoot up a school". It actually doesn't even mention a school. And it's not even a threat. It mentions no specific target, or time, or place, or anything.

How silly of me to think that your 2 consecutive lines of text in the same post were on the same subject.
Next time be smarter.
