It's a nightmare bit of legal overreach, yes, but it's there. Obama could have arrested so many ignorant hillbillies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago Again, no. There is no law stating you can't wish death on someone. You can't publicly call for their death or anything. But merely wishing for it, or stating you desire it, is not a crime. It doesn't matter if they're a public official or not. There's literally nothing they could be charged with because again, it's not a law. What possibly led you to think there was? permalink fedilink source parent
