Why Donald Drumpf Should Be Arrested for Inciting Racial Violence

http://usuncut.com/politics/why-trump-should-be-arrested-racial-violence/

If Donald Trump uses his platform for inciting violence, and his supporters act violently, at what point should Trump be held responsible?

The term “race war” has been frequently used to describe American race relations in recent years. African Americans cry for justice as corrupt police officers get away with killing them in the streets, immigrants live in fear of being ripped from their families for the crime of seeking out a higher quality of life for their families, and Muslim Americans are physically beaten and stabbed because they “look like terrorists.”

But drowning out all of these atrocities is the hysterical scream of a depressingly sizable chunk of white Americans applauding this behavior while insisting that American minorities are somehow to blame for the country’s problems. This army of racists has found a general in Donald Trump, and it’s time he be held criminally liable for his speech.

The misdemeanor charge of “inciting a riot” is defined in its simplest form as “urging or instigating other persons to riot.” In other words, if you push a group of people towards violence, you have broken the law and should be facing criminal charges.
