She wasn’t charged because the police have discretion and the victim of her assault can still press charges. That doesn’t mean she didn’t commit a crime or that she absolved of responsibility. It is not other people’s responsibility for how you react to how you feel, it’s yours to manage your behavior, even when people hurt your feelings.
He would never be found guilty and charges would not be pressed. He absolutely didn’t do anything to satisfy incitement. Incitement is for encouraging people to do violence or commit crimes, like she tried to do when assaulting someone. This is not a circumstance where personal responsibility is abdicated. She should not have viciously attacked someone over pictures that aren’t even her.
Then you concede that he instigated the attack. You don’t need to continue blaming the victim’s violent response, because responsibility for those acts falls on the harassing instigator.

He can be charged with assault and battery, due to his instigation of the physical altercation.
That is true only as a general condition, not an absolute one. There are certainly exceptions. “Instigation” is one such exception.

The word I used in the parent comment was “instigation”.
Then I have confused this chain with another but since you’re posting in several of them, it’s an easy thing to do.
