> No one blames the US postal service for death threats sent in the mail

Mailing death threats is illegal: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/876 (so much for "free speech", eh?)

It doesn't appear to be illegal to post them on Facebook?

It is illegal to post on facebook too.

The question is: who should be enforcing the law....

So yeah, change the law. Hold the posters accountable. Why Facebook? That's absurd
