Incitement of violence is actually mostly legal under U.S law except when it calls for imminent action that is likely to happen, which is a surprisingly high bar to meet. See Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969) [0]. Take note that this ruling was in defense of the KKK, but that it was later cited to protect the speech of the former NAACP Leader, Charles Evers [1]. >The conditions that must be met to impose criminal liability for speech that incites others to illegal actions are imminent harm, a likelihood that the incited illegal action will occur, and an intent by the speaker to cause imminent illegal actions. This precedent remains the principal standard in this area of First Amendment law, since the Supreme Court has not revisited it.
