@streiffredstate while it’s nitpicking, the policy didn’t permit death threats against them. It permitted calls for violence against them.
This isn’t exoneration. They should burn for it. Antifa has called for violence on Twitter, which was then carried out. But details matter.

Twitter would argue that the policy was meant to allow e.g. advocating for military action or the death penalty. But it would have been trivial to reference legal or international relationships processes. They chose instead to blanket permit calls for violence incl vigilante.
