I am very wary of hate speech laws and incitement laws. For me personally, I think in order to actually prosecute someone, you should need to demonstrate a number of things:
1) That the speaker called on an audience to do something illegal.
2) That the audience could reasonably be expected to be inspired to action by the speaker's words.
3) That the audience had the means and opportunity to commit the illegal act.
Ideally, you'd need to provide evidence that the illegal actions had actually been committed, and that the speaker's remarks had directly contributed to the illegal act occurring.
