18. Inciting violence is different
Edited on Mon Apr-18-11 09:46 PM by Bragi
Inciting violence means engaging in speech that is intended to rile up a listener so that they violently attack an innocent person or group.

It doesn't mean engaging in legal free speech that results in an offended party violently attacking the speaker.

An individual or a mob that violently attacks someone is responsible for their illegal actions, not the speaker who used their legal free speech rights so as to give offense.
