Opinion wanted

If some says - I am entitled to say I'm going to kill you. This is freedom of speech, and I have the right to say it.

Somthing along the lines of "You are under arrest for Criminal Threatening, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned, something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence"

I would say something like "You do not have the right to threaten me and I am going to report you to the authorities for doing so".

I am entitled to defend myself and will use appropriate force in doing so even if that results in your death.

Some human rights are absolute - like the right to life

Some like the freedom of speech are not.

There are limitations to the freedom of speech in areas like threatening behaviour, behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace etc.

If you google absolute human rights you'll see what I mean

I do not believe in all out freedom of speech. There should be some sorts of limit on what people say as respect should be given to few issues that might be sensitive.

An old saying “the wounds of sword may heal after a while but wounds given by the words never heal”.

My reply would be:

'You have the right to say that, but I have the right to defend myself, and I will'.

keyplus90, you're in danger of muddying the water here.
Freedom of speech should not be curtailed - and isn't - just because it treads on toes in sensitive areas or causes offence.
This discussion is about making illegal threats.

You do not have the right not to be offended.

Sorry
