That's if you're going to sue someone. I'm not talking about suing them, I'm talking about shooting them. We had a thread on this law in the past, and here's an article discussing it: http://m.stltoday.com/news/opinion/...5596-9f63-7e461d269d07.html?mobile_touch=trueYes, they have to commit a felony and rioting is not a felony out right. It's the other acts which are felonies, that makes rioting a felony. So your two example are very true. But there is two very different classification under the law. If they don't cause any damage over $500, and even then if it's 10 people who destroy a car with $5000 (Blue Book value), it comes down to how the DA charges those 10 people. DA could divided the damage cost or pin in on one person. You have no clue how the DA is charge those in that matter. Thus it makes self-defense laws a hard argument to make and extrajudicial in the case of a riot..
The LA riot and the Bagram Qur'an burning riot.Ever seen a riot in person?
I don't protest, I think it's dumb. I don't boycot, either.Ever been part of a peaceful protest...
Riot police wear gas masks for that very reason. Tear gas grenades to not distinguish between cop's eyes and rioter's eyes.Nothing like a whole line of police officers who aren't expecting tear gas be effected by it and can't hold the line.
