Lol Aeolus451: right.. thats like someone saying "go kill yourself" (or what they really mean is "**** off") and they kill themselves leading to their arrest. I know thats not the case, but its terrible that words can put you in jail |
To incide suicide is a crime on most countries AFAIK, OP, either as an autonomous crime or as a form of homicide, I'm not sure why you are that surprised.
And well, words have always had the potential to put you to jail. There is the crime of threat of violence to begin with, and also injury / outrage, not quite sure how do you call it on english. Go proclaim to everyone you are going to kill the president, or do something like deny the holocaust, for instance. The possibilities are endless here, and vary depending on the nation.
Besides, I'm sure any decent criminal justice do take into consideration both intent and result before determining a punishment, so rest assured here. Of course, some more severe crimes, such as crimes against life, can be punished on result alone, unless they derive from error or the one directly responsible was effectively weaponized by another influence or circumstance.
