@ThatBint @MetPoliceEvents I wish the protesters were ninjas. Suddenly there at 6pm, then all vanish at 9pm on the dot. in reply to ThatBint 16:58:59, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint The point being that by giving the gov the ability to decide if you can protest or not, you do not have the right to free speech. in reply to ThatBint 17:01:24, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint @MetPoliceEvents Things kick off at almost all protests. Wether there's political capital in news focusing on it is another matter in reply to ThatBint 17:03:51, 2015-11-05
In a modern context, laws and protest make much more sense if you consider them playing the meta game. It's more than any single event. 17:06:39, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint It depends what you consider the point of the protest to be. If it's getting in the public eye, the news won't help. in reply to ThatBint 17:08:45, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint If it's telling off the government, they already know and do not care. in reply to ThatBint 17:09:12, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint If it's a social exercise however, bringing together people and cementing their views, then it's perfectly successful. in reply to ThatBint 17:10:29, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint There are sufficient laws in the world that anyone can be arrested for something if there is sufficient will to. in reply to ThatBint 17:11:54, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Even just within the constraints of the permit to protest, there's plenty to work with. The time and area limits in particular. in reply to ThatBint 17:12:48, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Honestly I'm half glad for the rioters. A perfectly civil & controlled protest would imply the ability to guide their behavior… in reply to ThatBint 17:14:25, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint ..and any large group that display that level of organisation will be considered an actual threat and forcibly disbanded. in reply to ThatBint 17:15:18, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Being on the way to the protest is out of bounds. Not being fully dispersed by 9pm is overstaying the permit limits. in reply to ThatBint 17:16:56, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint I'd be more concerned about general populace firework revellers mixing up with the protesters "for a laugh". in reply to ThatBint 17:20:11, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint I don't think riot comes into most of their heads. But then the definition of "riot" has changed. in reply to ThatBint 17:22:00, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint There was a large fight in Walthamstow a few weeks back. Schoolkids fighting kids from another school. That was reported as a riot in reply to ThatBint 17:22:57, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Gaurdian and the BBC if I remember right. As well as the local police report on the incident. in reply to ThatBint 17:24:59, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Rioting can still mean what we feel it to mean; willfull and sustained indiscrimate mob violence. in reply to ThatBint 17:26:39, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint I would agree. However the term now covers any sort of violence where a crowd is involved and resist arrest. in reply to ThatBint 17:28:41, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint I'd consider the London riots of a few years ago legitimate use of the term. in reply to ThatBint 17:30:15, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint That "rioters" at a protest keep the group from being viewed as a legitimate threat to the status-quo. in reply to ThatBint 17:32:47, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint While deplorable on an imediate level it might benefit a protest group in the long-game by preventing it being taken seriously. in reply to ThatBint 17:35:11, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint Yup, but that's more about people exploiting situations for their own benefit (and flawed situational awareness). in reply to ThatBint 17:36:41, 2015-11-05
@ThatBint I'd be surprised if it didn't. There's a lot of angry people out there. in reply to ThatBint 17:40:28, 2015-11-05
