a "True Threat" is not deemed a free speech violation because one is not preventing speech, but are preventing action.
a "True Threat" is a threat of ACTION not a speech.
I.e. if a person is in their garage, they have bomb making materials all around them, and make a threat to bomb a location at a specific time, date, they have now made a threat of ACTION thus it becomes an ACTIONABLE item for law enforcement
This is often used by people that advocate for censorship as a "limit on free speech" but it is not, it is a limit on actions, we have always had limits on actions
