--Cynthia A. Johnson
Friendly reminder, to those oh so prone to liken Trump to Mugabe/ Hitler/AQ and his supporters to equally despicable and morally bankrupt thugs, that words meant to incite a riot are not covered by the constitution.
First Amendment protects the right to peaceful protest.
Per federal code it’s a crime when an individual “travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent” [to]:
- Incite a riot;
- Organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or
- Commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or
- Aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.
