From what I gather, this law isn't concerned particularly/only with incitement. If it was, I'd want to see some specific language concerning what said incitement amounts to before giving my opinion on the matter.
But, yes, that's the gist of it. I think people shouldn't have their speech censored. I think they should be allowed to speak freely and the law should only be concerned with their actions. So yes, rioting should be a crime, and incitement to it shouldn't, generally speaking.
