An Akron man who prosecutors say professed online support for the Islamic State has been charged with soliciting the killings of U.S. service members.  Federal prosecutors say 25-year-old Terrence McNeil reposted names and addresses of military and called for online followers to kill them. Prosecutors say McNeil's actions went far beyond First Amendment freedom-of-speech protections.
