Free speech isn't intended to supercede criminal law. Advocating for hurting people is a crime. If they want to do it and have it be covered as "free speech", they need to start by changing the law.

Advocating for hurting people is a crime.

It's really not, though. Making a specific, credible threat against someone can be, but speaking in general terms that someone ought to be hurt without specifying how, when, or by who is not.

I'm sure you'll become correct momentarily, though, once Trump declares that calling for his removal (or hell, any criticism of the regime because why not?) would "hurt" him politically and is therefore a felony. That is what you had in mind, right?
