"Rioting already is against the law in Arizona, and is defined as two or more people using or threatening force or violence in a way that disturbs the peace.
SB 1142 would expand the definition to allow charges if the force or violence results in property damage. Because it defines rioting as "two or more people acting together," it could allow protest organizers to be prosecuted if someone else is involved in the rioting — even if that someone isn't part of the organizing group. It could also allow organizers to be prosecuted just for planning an event that prosecutors believe could result in rioting."

Read up on the St. Austine
Read up on the St. Augustine, FL movement during the civil rights era.
The coppers with help from the local Klan beat the hell out of nonviolence protesters, then arrested them for inciting a riot.
As the song asks, "Where ya'll at?"
