Give me an example of "hate speech".
Inciting to riot.
Hmmmm....

Inciting to riot: "Inciting a riot applies to a person who organizes,
encourages, or participates in a riot.
I think we should kill all the __________. They shouldn't be allowed
to breathe our air!

That's hate speech that could end up encouraging others to riot or
commit criminal acts that would qualify as "Hate Crimes".
No - that's inciting to riot. Has nothing to do with "hate speech".

They are two seperate concepts.
Depends on how you fill in that obvious BLANK space I included. Insert
a racial slur or the name of a specific "protected class", and it
becomes both inciting to riot, AND hate speech

I understand what you are saying, but they are different.

For instance:

If I called a group of people "vegetarian tree hugging salad suckers"
and they are incensed enough to riot, that's inciting a riot.

If I say the same thing and they don't riot, is that still hate
speech?



If you are low-life Texas redneck, and you get up in front of a larger
group of same and say, "let's catch us one of those damned n*****s,
chain him to the back of the pick-up and drag him to death," you'd
likely be found guilty of hate speech. As you should be. And murder.
