re: #28 Dr Lizardo

I always thought inciting violence was against the law. At least that’s how Tom Metzger and his white supremacist group got hit with a $12.5 million dollar judgement against them up in Portland, OR in relation to the murder of Ethiopian exchange student Mulugeta Seraw.

I believe it’s referred to as “vicarious responsibility” or something of that nature. One of these, it’s most likely how Pam Geller and Robert Spencer will be taken down.

Your examples involve civil suits alleging liability for specifics acts, where cause and effect can be traced after the fact. In order for an incitement to violence to actually be “against the law” and pro actively prosecutable as a criminal act the governing statute must pass the test established in Brandenburg v. Ohio.
