Probably more a question for albaby, but if speech results in threats/acts of violence, is it still protected? I'm sure at least some it. But where is the line? I know there are statutes regarding "hate speech", but I question whether that would apply to accusing immigrants of eating pets.

All good questions. I was going down the civil liability route, since that could be filed right now by anyone in Springfield who has been affected. But there might be criminal liability as well.
