If violent words don't incite violence, as the extreme right claims, then why are they concerned about this victim's words? Using gun metaphors and marking maps with target locations and names and calling opponents "traitors" and so on and so forth is no more violent than an angry, wounded man shouting, not "I'm going to kill you," but the much milder and wider to interpretation , "You're dead."

Sadly, this took place in Arizona, and now the poor victim is being further victimized by being involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward.

All Fuller was doing was exercising his freedom of speech, just as the extreme right has been doing for years. He took a picture and said , "You're dead."

To me, that means Fuller no longer wants anything to do with Humphries, that he plans to shun him and ignore him and if necessary to vote against him and everything he does.

In my opinion, that's not enough to get anyone involuntarily locked up anywhere. It's the same freedom of speech the extreme right has been indulging in and they aren't all locked up. Of course, most of them don't live in Arizona, either, so perhaps that's the difference.
