Don't follow your reasoning. If you agree that those were fightin' words, how can they not be fightin' words at the same time?

Well, fightin' words do not JUSTIFY physical violence. I don't argue with the motivation, and can't say how I would have acted in the same situation, but I am not going to condone the violent response. It's still assault. Question back to you... do you think there are situations where someone's words or expressions are a legitimate incitement to violence? Interested to hear them.
