Is it really though? If so, then more than half the rappers would of been locked up for this by now.

I suppose who ever put such a law in US court system is holding their breath for the guy who got on International TV / web streaming / a huge crowd of people in Ferguson (?) and said 'burn this bitch down' - burn this mutherfucker down.. [1]

I dunno, maybe he was arrested for this and it is a real thing, if so I missed the news about it.

Or maybe it's technically possible to have to go to court for such a thing, but maybe only a few ever have, and the outcome of such a thing is anyone's guess, even those really into speech law [2]
