638 charsD.N.'s statement, "You have every reason to be scared of me," and her threats to kill N.G. (and other members of her family) are not protected speech, as they constitute true threats. See id. at 425; Commonwealth v. Robicheau, 421 Mass. 176, 181, 183 (1995) (holding that threat to kill plaintiff violated protective order issued pursuant to G. L. c. 209A and was not protected by First Amendment); J.C. v. J.H., 92 Mass. App. Ct. 224, 227-229 (2017) (holding that defendant's statements that plaintiff "should be scared" and that he would "ruin" her constituted "true threats"). Harassment prevention order dated June 12, 2018, affirmed.
