    if a kid says they’re going to shoot up the school the next day,

    What you brought up is a threat of violence, which is not the same thing as hurting someone’s feelings or making a statement that might be offensive to someone

      Yep, not implying it is - like I said, just taking the point to a logical extreme where (ideally) everyone would agree that at least some speech can’t be allowed with no repercussions. I’m curious where along the spectrum of fucked up things to say you’d personally draw the line - were you focusing on the distinction between nazi shit/gore and a direct threat because you’d consider either/both allowable, or just wanting to point out a false dichotomy?
