Can you not tell the difference between talking to someone and cutting off their head?

Organizing an unruly mob to target people in every aspect of their life will inevitably result in death just as much as cutting off their head will.
one of the two is still an explicit call to murder tho.
And the other is an implicit call for murder. Are you daft?
As they say: "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"

Otherwise, you have to take this "are you daft" comment as assault

This isn't about calling people names. It's about inciting a mob.

It's extremely dangerous, usually deadly, and that's why it's a crime.
