CLIMATE OF HATE: Injured Baton Rouge police officer sues Black Lives Matter, Deray McKesson. “Friday’s lawsuit claims Mckesson was ‘in charge of’ a July 9 protest that ‘turned into a riot.’ Mckesson ‘did nothing to calm the crowd and, instead, he incited the violence’ on behalf of Black Lives Matter, the suit alleges.”

It’s hard to meet the Brandenburg test for incitement. But if a humorous GIF counts as incitement to violence — and CNN says it does — then it’s hard to see how BLM and McKesson get by. They’d better hope that the jurors don’t watch CNN. Which, statistically, is a very good bet . . . .
