the doctrine of vicarious liability

20+ years ago the $PLC won a civil law suit against Tom Metzger, his son, and his white supremacist group. The suit was on behalf of a victim of a vicious murder by skinheads of a defenseless black man in Portland.

"Using the doctrine of vicarious liability, plaintiffs' attorneys argued that the Metzgers should be found liable for intentionally inciting the skinheads to engage in violent confrontations with minorities. A jury agreed, returning a record $12.5 million verdict against the Metzgers and WAR. Tom Metzger was personally responsible for $5.5 million of that sum."

IIRC the skinheads were not members. They had been exposed to what WAR was putting out publicly. Kinda like NBC.

Who incites these black-on-white murderers?

Their friends and families? The lucrative civil rights and victims' industries? Sharpton? Jessie Jackson? ABCNNBCBS? The Nytimese? The Latimese? Who?

A civil trial would likely uphold the doctrine of vicarious liability in these cases too. A lot of deep pockets among those people.. but hurry while the MSM still have a couple of "news" organizations with any pockets at all.

All of the above are trying to outdo each other.

But at least we are learning now how a peaceful country can find itself in civil war with genocidal intent.
