Being a private citizen doesn't permit you to libel or slander, or worse, purposely inciting violence (on a twitter account with 1.5 million followers) against another private citizen.I am not sure I agree if the comments are made when the person is no longer in office. DeBlasio is a private citizen now. Now if he made those comments when he was Mayor of NYC, I am with you that he should have the weight of the world come down on him.
I can't believe I am somewhat sticking up for DeBlasio.
