Maybe the courts would like to put her "art" to the test...hmmm? I know I for one would find that much more interesting than what the camera-shy Comey will have to say this coming week....
Look at the case of Oregon resident, John Roos, who is currently serving a five years behind bars for threatening Obama thru the use of social media (Twitter and Facebook). He apologized afterwards and claimed he was "not serious" about the threats he made however....a jailbird, he is, nonetheless.
Griffin's "art" (as per Snoop Dogg's video) could possibly be interpreted as a real threat on the president's life, as well (and there are clear statutes that address such things). Think about it....if Hillary were president today...and I posted a photo of myself holding a mock-up of her bloodied, severed head on social media...I guarantee you I am in a world of hurt today. I would be terminated from my job within hours...plus the Feds would be up in my shorts like nobody's business.
Snowflakes or not, WTF, the argument of Free Speech protection vs blatant statements suggesting destruction/ terrorism/ assassination, etc (ie: Madonna's desire to "blow up the White House") or a photo of the POTUS' severed head being held ISIS-like by a comedienne can be a fine line. Perhaps District Court Judge Michael McShane would like to hear this case, as well, should legal actions be taken...apology or not.
