During a live performance, actor and comedian Tracy Morgan quipped that if his son were to tell Morgan that he was gay, Morgan would "stab him to death." Suppose an audience member, Bubba, had been upset for several weeks because his own son had just revealed that he was gay. Suppose that, upon hearing Morgan's comment, Bubba decided that Morgan had a good solution for what to do about gay children. Finally, suppose Bubba went home after the show and stabbed his own son to death. Could Tracy Morgan be held legally responsible for the death of Bubba's son?

Answer:

Probably no, because Morgan was not inciting Bubba or anyone else to kill homosexuals

Explanation

Incitement is simply define that individuals who incites, counsels, even when not completed. it applies when offence has not occurred . Inciting someone is simply the act of provoking or encouraging an individual to act. In this case it was not so. There was nothing like that.
