- chasd00 6y agocan you define incitement of violence? is there an actual definition or is it a "I know it when I see it" type thing? also, incitement or not isn't the perpetrator of violence the guilty one? ... or has that changed?

Unfortunately, the DoJ is currently under the command of a person who has a vested interest in protecting "his" people, so attention to this issue has been lacking.
