> The constitution of United States, in the first Amendment prohibits certain speech, speech inciting violence is one of those prohibited speech.

It does? Here's the full text of the First Amendment:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Which part of it says that? I don't see it anywhere.

The Supreme Court has ruled again and again that incitement is an exception to speech covered under first amendment.

Even if the First Amendment doesn't protect it, it most certainly does not prohibit it.
