Both explicit calls and justifications that create a permissive environment for violence fall under incitement. The law already recognizes that encouraging, glorifying, or justifying violence against specific people can be prosecutable.Sam Lowry said:Doc Holliday said:Sam Lowry said:Doc Holliday said:Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:BluesBear said:
Liberalism is a disease and those people either need to be put in institutions or put under ground.
So people that dont vote like you should be locked up or assassinated?
People that call for the murder of their political opposition or even slightly insinuate and or justify it should be criminally charged.
Many politicians and media figures have done such.
So what you seem to be saying is...words = violence?
No I'm saying incitement can equal violence.
Explicitly calling for or justifying someone's murder is incitement, and that's already a crime, even if no one acts on it.
Well, which is it? First you said even slightly insinuating, now you're saying explicitly calling for. And since when is justifying the same as inciting? By that standard many posters here incited J6.
"Insinuating" means laying the groundwork, aka conditioning an audience to view violence as acceptable. "Explicit" is the end stage. Both are on the same spectrum, and both are dangerous.
As for J6: yes, people who explicitly or implicitly encouraged storming the Capitol were guilty of incitement. You're actually proving my point.
