Alright I looked it up. The "true threat" doctrine comes from Watts 1969. True threats are statements in which a speaker expresses a "serious" intent "to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals." The court stated that the statement must be viewed in its context and distinguished from protected hyperbole.
More recently, in Elonis, the court required that the defendant subjectively intended to threaten.
