Person 2: "She's Such an Instigator"
by Piercethesyko June 23, 2017
Someone who tries to make everything inflammatory by encouraging escalation of actions, while pretending to be concerned about de-escalation, resolution, compromise, and intervention, or anything else that makes him/her look like a good person among bad people.
The girl's family knew she had always been an instigator, the kind of person who said fuck you to neighbors and flipped them off by coming in their town like she owned it, with the intervention programs she supported to cover her own actions, or involvement in the questionable actions of others, and make her look like a better/stronger person than she actually was.

The instigator would rather fuck with somebody else's life or talk shit about it than tend to their own (if there was one to tend to, if it wasn't a facade of a life to show everyone).

The instigator was playing all sides, from rabbi to gunman, from developer to landowner/landowning organization, from cop to criminal to unarmed civilian, from black to white, from gay to straight, and from Martin Luther King statue to Confederate statue.

Someone that encourages escalation of actions, then pretends to be concerned about resolution, compromise, justice, intervention, and other shit like that once something bad does actually happen, they want everybody to love them all of sudden, no matter what they did or who they did or were involved in doing it to (a 7 year old kid, for example).
The girl's family knew she was always an instigator who thought it was funny to escalate bad things to happen, then pretend to be concerned about finding resolution, compromise, intervention, or peace (Hitler also claimed to be concerned about seeking peace). Unlike some people seemed to, they didn't think she was scary to be around, they thought she was more mouthy than anything else.

Someone that does something like hire and train a bunch of people to interrrupt violence when they know beforehand that it will not only lead to an increase in violence, but it will actually openly antagonize and provoke things that were not there already.
The instigator wanted people to buy her bullshit about wanting to clean up violence by installing violence interrupters.
