It is prosecuted but it has to be incitement with intent.  Kinda like 
hollering fire in a movie theater.  You have to know, or a "reasonable 
person would know" that their actions would have an immediate detrimental 
effect on others.

If you are talking about government crimes of x, y or z and something should 
be done about it and in that speech you describe how to make a pipe bomb or 
where to find directions to make a pipe bomb, *then* you could/should be 
arrested, charged and prosecuted.

If you are doing what most of these people are doing and saying "we want 
change" or "we don't want more government," then you aren't "inciting."

However, I think the crime that should be punished is the higher ups who are 
sending people in to make the legitimate protesters look bad!
