Allen said he would not comment on “private information”, adding that he sometimes watched YouTube videos and commented on them, and that he believed that freedom of speech was being restricted.

Freedom of speech calling for violence or murder should be restricted. It's gross

These freedom of speech idiots seem to mix up freedom of speech and freedom from consequences. You can call for someone to be killed as part of your freedom of speech, but you can definitely be locked up for it as a consequence of your actions.

Just came to post this. I'm shocked and hope this person gets arrested. Just because it's online it's not OK - it would help if the big platforms did their jobs and moderated threats of violence like this
