Do you see a difference between the words "hang _____ by a noose" and the actual effigy of Palin at Halloween time actually hanging from a noose? Was that a death threat, too?
edited to add: I didn't realize that they didn't name him so i edited the name out.

From the article you posted:
>>Two of the messages said: "Let's shoot that (N-word) in the head" and "Hang Obama by a noose."<<
While you could make an argument that the n reference was to someone else, I think Obama actually is Obama's name. ;-)
Not particularly.....though what a college kid does not public property and what a homeowner does on their own generally has different rules.

"Also an actual death threat is not quite the same as hanging someone in effigy."
How do you figure? Put yourself in that noose that they had Palin in, would you laugh about it? Imagine an ex doing that to you, are they wishing you were dead or is it just "hanging someone in effigy?"
edited to add: I thought it was wrong with Palin, and I think it is wrong with Obama, and even though I did not vote for him, he will be our President and we need to respect that.

I don't think it is illegal to write what these guys wrote.
