      The words themselves aren’t violent, but they contain threats of violence. I thought that much was inferable from the headline.

      By making this argument you appear to be supporting those who are sending the death threats. That’s not a good look. In every conflict in history between those who used racism as a reason to do things and those who oppose them, the racist people happened to be the bad guys. Probably not a good idea to align yourself with racists…
