Oh good grief. Stop getting the vapors.

It’s protected speech. Period.

It’s childish and poorly thought out when you look at the argument they are making.

But the First Amendment is precisely for this type of speech. Obnoxious. Vile. Immature. Etc.

I don't think the first amendment protects against threats of murder.

No, not period. Murder threats are most definitely not included.

"It’s protected speech." Oh, good grief. Read the Brandenburg 1st Amendment case. This is marginally borderline "protected speech" at best.

Immediacy of incitement is a key part.

"Off to the gallows with you" could very easily be heard as an immediate command inciting the crowd, and would not be "protected speech".

Really? I dare you to stand on a street corner and call for death to trannies or blacks. You’d be arrested for a hate crime in a freaking nanosecond and you know it.
