There’s a big difference between hate speech and threats of violence. It’s never been legal to falsely yell “fire” in a theatre, much like credible threats of violence are also illegal. Hate speech is more like “group X is bad because XYZ”. Even saying “I wish they were all gone from this earth” is different from “I’m going to do something about them.”
