I was just going to post this. I hope he ends up holding her in contempt of court and she pays a big penalty for her incitement of violence. The woman is insane.

I'll agree with this at least partially as the dictionary definitions basically mean the same thing.She didn't "incite" violence. She advocated it.
It should be illegal to advocate violence. But there is nothing illegal about "inciting" violence, nor should there be. If someone is so emotionally fragile that they become violent because they heard someone's speech, that's on them not the speaker. The speaker should not have their first amendment right of freedom of speech taken away from them just because there are a few snowflakes in the audience.
The left has deceptively snuck the word "incite" into our daily vocabulary as a sleazy tactic to censor conservatives. I hate seeing conservatives pick up the left's flags and march with them.
