Gray (😂) area. Whether or not this is free speech is irrelevant because the act of speaking is happening on publicly-owned property. I think a public call to illegal action is not free speech, that it should not be protected by law, that it is itself illegal, but that's irrelevant, too, in this case, because if the concept of political extremism means anything it means forcing a particular morality, religion, ethical code on everyone, so the misuse of the valid concept of free speech and its righteous legal protection is deliberate here. It's being purposefully abused by those who do not believe in it against those who do not properly comprehend it. Argumentation, the possibility of persuading someone with an opposing viewpoint to accept a viewpoint he/she opposes, or even to accept disagreement, is unfortunately inherently... 🤔 off-limits.
