    You do understand that she’s not being charged with that, right?

    What I am saying is that if I deliberately try to piss you off enough for you to take a swing at me, I become criminally responsible for the violent acts you take against me. That’s “instigation”.

    “Instigation” is why she isn’t being charged with assault and battery. She’s not responsible for the violence on the bus. He is.

        Yeah, you used the word “incite”, but it doesn’t actually mean what you seem to think it means.

          It has more than one meaning, though. If you can’t infer the one I meant, you could just ask for clarification. You seem overly hostile though.

            I am reasonably confident I am arguing with an unreasonable, intellectually dishonest person. My hostility arises from that belief.
