Threatening Violence Against Public Officials Is Wrong

I’m on my way to the post office to send the following three letters to high ranking law enforcement officers in New Hampshire regarding the online comments of a threatening tone made against Judge Burke.

United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire Kacavas
New Hampshire Attorney General Delaney
Cheshire County Attorney Heed
Administrative Office of the Courts Director Goodnow

I believe the threatening rhetoric involved is protected speech under Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969) as it doesn’t seem to infer imminent lawless action, but using or threatening violence is unacceptable in a civilized society.
