You could be a member of an extremely large group like the NRA and have absolutely no idea what fellow members might plan to do once they arrive at a protest.

Also I'd like to point out that often times that people committing crimes at protests often turn out to be opportunists.
- gozur88 10y agoThis law isn't going to affect you if that's the case. The NRA (and most protest groups) don't plan and incite illegal behavior.
- alphabettsy 10y agoThis law doesn't require you to actively incite illegal behavior, you just have to be the planner of the event where it occurs even if that wasn't your intention. The problem is that a protest can easily turn into a riot, especially if it's not well organized. It's vaguely worded on purpose.
- gozur88 10y agoI didn't see any wording that vague when I read the statute. Which clause are you talking about?
- alphabettsy 10y agoIt's worded in a way that it could apply to a protest that becomes a riot rather than only a planned riot. I doubt anyone would object to a law against planning a riot, but that's already illegal.
