To be totally honest, I'm not sure. Direct incitement of the form "kill these specific people" is pretty serious, don't get me wrong. If there's a direct causal link between her words and violence, maybe short jail time, but the burden of proof there is high.
What punishment do you think is appropriate for:
- Saying 'Eat the rich' on a public forum
- Saying 'Eat Jeff Bezos' on a public forum
- Saying 'Eat Jeff Bezos' on a public forum on the same day Jeff Bezos was eaten
- Saying 'Eat Jeff Bezos' on a public forum on the same day Jeff Bezos was eaten, with the cannibal-murderer being a dedicated fan
Edit: I'm not meaning to remove the racist parts of the original case here, just couldn't think of a better hypothetical as a comparison for incitement to violence
- Saying 'Eat the rich' on a public forum

Take her phone away. That’s going to destroy most people.

She's clearly a racist loon, but I'm not sure sending twitter edgelords to prison for 2 and a half years is a particularly good move, however reprehensible the content. Surely there's a more reasonable sentence.
Can the murder of the three girls mentioned in the article be directly connected to her post, or were any of her followers engaged in violence? Seems like a bit of a reach to me.
