Should they prosecute? No. Should we collectively shun him? Yes.
Luckily it's my right to call him a fuckwit.

Actually, I think it's an interesting question whether it's protected speech or not. I'm not quite sure it's that clear. I can see at least a colorable argument that it's akin to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater, which is not protected. Not saying that would be a winning argument, but who knows.
The question is, if it's not protectes, what he could be be proescuted for? Inciting a riot? The riot wasn't in the US.
And if he can't be prosecuted for something, whether it's protected speech becomes something of a moot issue.
