Conspiracy to riot which is what they ARE charged with.
You snowflakes like law and order until your idiot side is arrested.
This has never been a particularly hard issue to grapple with. The government has a responsibility to protect the rights of protesters to assemble, and to protect the public when protesters start rioting. If it was some grey area calculation of when a protest becomes a riot, it would be more difficult. The police have to walk a fine line which is usually best done by waiting until the first signs of a riot occurring, then issuing orders to disperse and giving people time to clear then area, then mopping up any that are left. But that isn't what we're dealing with. The issue we've had in America is far to the extreme in either direction- governments refusing to enforce the law even when BLM is obviously engaged in violent riots, and now in this case mass arresting protesters before any crime was occurring.
Law and order is how the government protects both the people from the government and the people from other people. When it breaks down in either direction, you don't have law and order, you have anarchy or tyranny.
Seems like whenever one side goes to an extreme in one direction, they accuse me of being an extremist for the other side, even when I've always been right in the sane middle. I've enjoyed being both the bleeding heart commie and the reactionary fascist for merely respecting civil liberties.
