Jordan is at a protest when he faces an opposing protest. Jordan yells, "Don't let those bloody. criminal, un-American jerks step on your rights, no matter what! We stay; they leave!" The police try to make Jordan's group back up. Jordan's group of protesters charges the other group and the police. Unfortunately, Jordan's group injures three people, including a police officer. Jordan is indicted for inciting a riot. Jordan argues that he was exercising his right to free speech. Two of the state's witnesses, who were members of Jordan's group, testified that they would not have participated in the riot without Jordan's call to action. Concerning this case against Jordan, here is the most likely result:

O The jury could return a verdict of guilty, decide that Jordan is not guilty, or simply be unable to reach a verdict: certainly, the First Amendment's free speech provision does not protect all speech, but - on the other hand - even strong language does not necessarily mean that a speaker is responsible for how individuals react to his speech

. The jury will return a verdict of guilty because Jordan's speech is obscene

O The jury will return a verdict of not guilty, because, even if Jordan's speech was hateful and inspired his followers to act violently, Jordan has the right to free speech as long as he (Jordan) himself did not personally take part in acts of violence.

The jury will return a verdict of not guilty, because the right to protest, especially if it is about matters of "politics," is nearly absolute

. O The jury will return a verdict of guilty, because Jordan's language was defamatory.
