Yes, SCOTUS has consistently ruled that threats of violence are different than protesting.

Burning a cross on someone's lawn is an implicit threat of future violence because that is the only historical use of burning crosses on someone's lawn. Burning a flag in a public space is saying you disagree with the government, which is a protest.
