Topic	Should escalation be considered a crime?
Solid Sonic 01/21/22 3:27:48 PM #3:	Sahuagin posted... that's way too broad, you would have to be more specific Well if there's evidence that you're deliberately trying to incite some kind of uncivil behavior from another person instead of simply knowing when to stop should you be charged if things do in fact get out of hand? Like refusing to stop arguing with another person in the stands at a sports game and just seeing if they're going to get violent even though you don't have to drag it out. If someone catches you on video should you be charged with escalating a situation instead of not reciprocating and maintaining civility? Or interjecting yourself to egg on the other party when you weren't involved in the initial situation (such as a row at a restaurant between your table's party and another), that could be another example. Just some instance where the actions on display were clearly meant to make things go from tense to outright disorder. It's definitely worse if someone else were to get violent but if you're doing literally nothing to allay that and in fact are causing more harm than good in that moment can it be said that you should have to face consequences too? Apparently incitement is a crime but this is a little more personal than causing an entire crowd to lose their shit. Mind you I get if this is too vague and in that case I can totally understand why such a thing should never be codified into law. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. <cite>Solid Sonic posted [p:961951820] in Should esc...
