It would be a real shame if the Washington Post or its staph suffered any harm or damage in a riot.

Peaceable assembly is a fundamental right, whose protection is guaranteed by the US Constitution.

Assembly and behaviour that are not peaceable--or peaceful--is not a right.

When those in assembly are not peaceable, their behavior must be stopped. They cannot be allowed to threaten or harm other people.

This is not only basic US law and basic morality but also basic common sense. Those who support the radical left have abandoned all of these.

Anti-riot laws prevent communist revolutionaries from achieving their goals.

...if even one person throws rocks or a water bottle, then anyone in the general area can be arrested for riot participation....

That $hit will stop quickly if police snipers are stationed where they can identify individual targets, and take out the first one to throw anything- then the second, if there is one. Drop a couple and the others will flee.

So, the Washington Post is saying that it’s okay to riot in their offices and homes. Got it.

From every video I've watched of Portland and Seattle, the police very clearly give 2 and 3 warnings of an illegal assembly and very often gave over an hour of warnings for people to disburse. You'd have to be a real moron not to get a clue. After those multiple warnings and extended timeframes, they use smoke, pepperballs and tear gas to clear the crowd before they resort to physical force. Their strategy has been on pushing back to a perimeter and then withdrawing, rather than direct confrontation.

The ones at the back ordering (hetero) ‘white bodies to the front’ are getting a bigger kick out of seeing their 'allies' gassed and arrested than they are in actually throwing things. Unfortunately, both Portland and Seattle judges are releasing the arrested with nocharges and they are back on the street within hours even more emboldened, which ticks off the delinquents who become even more determined to see them arrested again. The mistake the police are making, is they are only addressing the front of the crowd instead of flanking and sandwiching them and getting the true troublemakers in the rear.

I have to compliment the Portland and Seattle police for the patience of Job. Their battlefront is not just the protester/rioters, but also the local DA’s who refuse to prosecute and the local politicians who vilify their department. As they work under demoralizing conditions and utterly vicious personal and racial insults you'd not expect to hear out of any civilized person's mouth, the wormy little keyboard warriors, many identifying as psych cases, are stalking and harassing their kids and wives - encouraged by shady twitter figures presenting as militant sexual deviants with names such as 'ops' 'oracle', 'comm' 'revolution' etc in their protest forums - which the FBI should already have been crawling all over. But it all seems to be ignored - most especially by Twitter.

>>Worse yet, if even one person throws rocks or a water bottle, then anyone in the general area can be arrested for riot participation.

If one person riding in a car shoots people everyone in the car can be arrested for the drive-by hit.

When the police give the order to DISPERSE, do it.

When some are throwing bricks, beatdowns, and explosive devices it is unsafe to be there. You are patsies for the militant leftists.

“These unjust arrests, as with all arrests, fall hardest on people of color.”

What a crock of bull dung.

What difference does in make. The laws aren't being enforced anyways.
Leftist DA's or Judges let them off when the cops arrest them.
