I don't have any sympathy for someone who incites a riot. If you don't want to go to prison for 5+ years, then don't incite a riot. It really is that simple.

Inciting a riot is not a thought crime. Rather, it involves calculated malicious intent long beforehand. At the least, it involves a mindset of reckless endangerment. Either way, what we have is a fundamental element of a felony. If you incite a riot, then you should be at least partially responsible for all money damages, injuries and deaths that result from the riot.

I'm a grown up with a kid. I am not sympathetic to rowdy youths who endanger the lives of my family. Riots are not cool. What's cool to me is a boring neighborhood with boring neighbors.
