They rally for white pride and the superiority of whites, not to kill others, that's just implied. A rally to kill the president would be a direct threat.
To help you understand where I'm coming from, I believe that
any legislation that does not specifically prohibit harming of others is a setp down the slippery slope, and that and that anything restricting speech beyond basic necessities (national security/military plans, yelling "fire" in a theater, etc.) is like taking a step back, getting a running start, jumping and yelling "Whee!" as we fly down that slope.
edit: to add a conclusion, being free means that we have to put up with hearing and seeing shit that isn't right.
