A distinction needs to be made between a personal, emotional and perhaps illogical reaction to something like the shirt in question and having authorities act on someone's reaction, or even worse on a hypothetical reaction. So - did the shirt constitute a threat? The court decision is "no".

Free speech which doesn't protect speech which makes others uncomfortable is hardly "free".
