Yes, and if it just so happens that a maniac listened and then did kill somebody, he was probably a psycho already and would've done it either way.
What if that person is encouraging racial violence, and also pointing out a sale on hunting knives at a camping shop? Is there a line when they go from being a crazy person spouting shit to enabling violence?

:
I think people should be allowed to say whatever they want, unless it's an actual VIABLE death threat, then they should be questioned. If the identity of the person who's making the threat is known, however, it's very unlikely that it is a genuine threat and arresting them is a waste of time and money.
What about serial offenders? If you often make threats of physical harm, or arson, or something and are freaking people out is that ok? I mean shit, I can think of a few people in my life who I would take very seriously if they threatened to burn my house down. If they do that all the time to scare people into giving them money or something, that shouldn't be legal.
