    So you agree with WAB, but you disagree?

    If not, what ARE you charging her with? Since WAB only specified incitement. (He did say at bare minimum, but you didn't single that part of his post out)

    That is exactly the point. If I tell you to shoot WAB in the face and convince you to do it, you are the one who committed the crime. It is different if I handed you the gun and told you where WAB would be. That is acting as part of the crime. I don't give a fuck if Trump says go storm the capitol, you don't storm the capitol because you have free will. He commanded it is not an excuse for people to do the fucking bullshit they did.

    So you are telling me that I am responsible for your actions? OK, I am the master troll. I can command you to shoot the president and you will do it. I have that much power.

    I just torched your shit argument again bitch.

    There is participating in the riots by organizing and helping to execute them. Telling people to go riot is not a command that put the guilt of the riot on a person who did not participate and said go do it. Only in the military do we have the excuse of someone ordered me to do it to absolve a soldier of the guilt of murder or violent destruction.

    What I am saying is that MTG had to do something more than tell those people they should sack the capitol for her to have committed a crime.

    That is what you are saying. You are saying I can make you riot. You are saying it is possible I have that much control over you. I can make you go break the law through some manner of actions that is not putting you under duress.

    So if I cannot make you riot, then why is inciting a riot a crime?

    So which is it? Can I incite a riot and make others do my bidding, or is it a bullshit crime because I am not responsible for your actions?

    I call that check mate.

    Feel free to get in the last word since you so want to.

    You can be arrested for soliciting murder, even if the person you're asking has no intention of carrying it out.

    That? That's checkmate, mate.

    You can't even follow a rational argument. Let us know when you're elected to Congress. If they let MTG in, you should win handily.

    Or if you can emerge from your fantasy world for a moment, let's try a history lesson: Arguably Corporal Hitler may have killed enemy combatants in the trenches. That part of his history is sketchy. But Chancellor Hitler, by your way of "thinking," never killed anyone.

    Yes, but you actually make an action in that case. The payment is an action. If you paid someone to riot, that would be participating in the riot.

    You are not as clever as you think.

    Again there is an organization and effort towards the war. You are talking about actually organizing and doing something. If I tell you to go storm the capitol, and do not help or assist you in any way, that is inciting a riot. You are ignoring thew fact I say there are actual crimes of organizing and making a violent action like a riot. I am saying that just telling people to go down the street and storm the capital is not something that makes another person lose their free will to not commit the crime. Even if that command comes from the president.

    Manson participated and organized the murders. are you telling me that manson had special magical powers that forced his followers to do the things they did?

    Please explain that to me. Manson is in jail because he participated in the crime, not because he told people to do it.

    See my reply. You are letting other people argue for you?

    Isn't that sort of admitting you are stupid and useless?

    Nope, it only has to be proven that you were GOING to pay or provide something of value. In this case, Trump remaining POTUS if his lackeys fought for him:

    https://www.michigancriminallawyer.com/5-things-know-youre-arrested-solicitation/

    Now Trump's defence here is obvious - he stiffs people all the fucking time, so he had no intent of giving his supporters anything of value in exchange.

    I can see why you empathize so much - you've been promising master troll level shit here since day one, but have yet to pay up.

    I saw it. I replied. You never responded to my post about Henry II. Probably have no clue who that was.

    @Tererun

    Now, let's go to dictionary.com and look up the word "incite":

    Your ridiculous line of reasoning is done. Over. Finished.

    You lose.

    Good bye.

    If I am right he was not an american citizen and subject to this law. What about Ghandi? Haven't you heard of him? What about Stphen Biko? Have you heard about him?

    Your arguments are in tatters, and you are having everyone else do your work for you.

    This is a surprising new low for you. No logic comeback. No actual argument. Federal farmer makes better arguments than you have here. You really should not be criticizing him after this disgraceful offering. You are just part of the rabble and have no real place in a discussion.

    You cannot even wordsmith your way out of this. I want more. Dayton was better fodder than this.
