Guidance Needed

People are being fired for celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. Others are claiming this violates their First Amendment rights. 

I would like to see one of our attorney commentators do a layman’s guide to what speech and writing the amendment does and does not protect, and from whom. The answer is not a simple one.

For example is advocacy (incitement?) of clearly unlawful behavior - murder - unlawful? How about praise of felonious behavior done by others? This clarification would be helpful in the current setting.
