Threats to Kill, Legal?

This was prompted by the new public threats on Zimmerman's life. It appears to have broadened beyond just an official bounty from the New Black Panthers.

I don't want to limit the thread or question to Zimmerman - hence a new thread. I suppose I was under the impression that death threats were not protected speech and were actually a crime.

Right or wrong?

I know in domestic violence cases there is often a lot of hearsay to obtain restraining orders etc. But where a threat is published fact - I did not think that was even legal...

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
