I've been delaying entering this thread because I'm a minority viewpoint and am on vacation. Saying more than I have is work I don't wanna do atm.

But talking about bill isn't work.

There's actually an interesting subset of law that deals with situations like this. Idk what jurisdiction is involved, so this is general "don't try this at home, not legal advise" type stuff.

But ppl can certainly be punished and culpable for actions they inspire. Example on a small scale: if you tell someone to fight someone else, you just encouraged a crime and can be culpable. Some states call it aiding and abetting, some call it other things. In the worst cases, it's conspiracy to commit assault

For other speech though, like Bills, we got some neat things. It matters whether he told someone to do this, whether bill knew his words would cause this effect. He can't go on and say "x lives at 123 fakestreet, light him up". But the line gets blurry when it's not crystal clear.

One thing that annoyed me is that the video he used to justify the baby killing was unreliable. Who knows what it actually shows, there's no context, a biased presenter, and edits that call the whole thing into question.

I think he should be civily responsible for what he did here...but I don't think it's criminal
