1st Amendment will nuke those criminal statutes if the lawyers of these children take it far enough. That will be expensive, of course, and the state knows this as well, so, as usual, the process is the punishment.
The charge they've been given is based around threats, which I think is a rough area for first amendment arguments.
All six have been charged with threat to commit a crime, according to the district attorney's office. One has additionally been charged with interference with civil rights and witness interference, while another has also been charged with interference with civil rights, the district attorney said.
it's bullshit. they weren't charged with threats of VIOLENCE. it's just "threat to commit a crime". they also charged some of the kids with criminal deprivation of civil rights, which cannot be used to criminalize mean words.
this is lawfare. the process is the punishment. they will be branded for life by these criminal cases, and spend 20-50k on defense attorneys. the same shit the left is using to weaponize the law against orange man, now they're using on 8th graders. trump was never the target. they're coming for us and he's just in the way.

They were doing a mock slave auction, obviously a joke, so this is BS and HOPEFULLY won't go anywhere.
