At the vigil Thursday night that News 19 attended, Merritt said, “If you are quiet and you don’t say anything that means you consent, if you don’t get into these streets, that means you consent, if you don’t burn something down, that must mean you consent.”
Merritt’s comments were met by loud cheers from the crowd.

Shouldn't behavior like this be grounds for disbarment?

Calling this an incitement to arson is a real stretch. Its called inflammatory rhetoric in which many people use regardless of their politics or ideology.

What stretch? It certainly looks like an incitement to me.

I do not know whether what he said is illegal but it certainly sounds like he's saying you should burn something down if you don't agree with the situation.

Try reading it again with your eyes open. Merrit’s statement is logically false.

Try to quit evading any point you don't like. So what if it's false? It's still a call to burn things. Do we ignore all the wrong stuff the Orange One said?

As Don pointed out, your interpretation has been disputed by the lawyer. So stop making false accusations. in order to save face,

Same thing the Republicans keep doing--make deniable statements.

You're acting like a Republican. It's your job to explain why we shouldn't interpret this as a call for arson.

Since I did in posts 3 and 11, it seems you are acting like Trump.

Saying it's a stretch doesn't make it so.
