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.
