After punching incident, N.C. sheriff ponders ‘inciting a riot’ charge against Trump The charge of “inciting a riot” is a misdemeanor, defined this way: “Any person who willfully incites or urges another to engage in a riot, so that as a result of such inciting or urging a riot occurs or a clear and present danger of a riot is created.”
Under North Carolina law, a riot is “a public disturbance involving an assemblage of three or more persons which by disorderly and violent conduct, or the imminent threat of disorderly and violent conduct, results in injury or damage to persons or property or creates a clear and present danger of injury or damage to persons or property.”
I guess telling someone "go ahead, I'll pay your legal bills" might be inciting. Wouldn't THAT be exciting. Maybe he'll have to pay HIS OWN legal bills.
