So if you stood in front of a mob and yelled "burn this town down"

and by golly they did or at least made a good attempt at it. Would you be arrested and charged?
Police consider charging Browns stepdad

How is that not inciting a riot?

If I'm basically in tears walking away from the scene no... The government dropped the ball big time with the lack o' national guard

I could be wrong, but the national government/national guard does not have the authority to intervene until the state gov't basically asks for help. My theory is the governor of Missouri wants to keep getting re-elected, so he didn't bring too much force to slow the riots.

National Guard falls under national and state authority. The governor of Missouri is authorized to use the Missouri National Guard if/when he feels it to be necessary.

Jay Nixon is term limited. He can't be re elected. If he wanted to be re elected, he would've had the NG ready to go. The fact that he went absent for 7 hours after the verdict is because someone told him to. There's really almost no other reason for that.

Well frick, now they have to announce whether or not they are going to indict the step father, probably late at night, and the whole damn thing is going to happen again.

Free speech? If the Westboro Baptist Church can spout their vile shite, shouldn't this man be able to speak his mind?

Probably not if I was just pissed that a GJ refused to indict someone who had killed my kid. I suspect they'll go after the guys who actually did the burning and not the pissed off step dad...who is a TPOS btw.
