And you seem to be the first poster that even bothered to read it after 2 more pages of posts.1 - the bill is stating that? Really?Arresting and seizing assets of protesters that aren't rioting, which most don't, is in violation of the 1st amendment. You'll note the article also states that police can arrest people for planning a protest.
There is no doubt that this is going to be challenged in court and immediately struck down, but again it shows the mindset of the 4th Reich of the Republican party. We are going to oppress free speech in order to protect the ASS CLOWN that Republicans have installed in the oval office is what this is about.
It won't be struck down. Despite your hysteria, laws against intent to riot and rioting are as old as America. Same kind of statute was used in Chicago to charge the rioters in '68. The asset forfeiture can't be applied to the actual rioters because they're broke losers. But the PLANNERS of the event, like the DNC and the Soros empire have deep pockets. The message is clear....come to Arizona planning a riot and we'll kick your ass and bankrupt your masters.
It will be struck down immediately.
1. What this bill is saying is that a bystander on the street who may not be involved in any protest, someone close throws a rock into the window, the bystander gets arrested and his property seized.
2. People out on a peaceful protest, one of them goes wild and and throws a brick through a window, they ALL get arrested and their property is seized.
This bill is not discriminating between those who are peacefully protesting and those who are committing the rioting.
Any JUDGE would see through this and pound it into the GROUND.
The stupidity from the 4th Reich of the Republican party, never ceases to amaze.
Care to point out WHERE it states such a thing:

2. Again, the bill is right there. Where is such a thing stated?
The relevent part of the bill as far as I can tell is the following:

16 THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER PERSON.
17 B. Riot is a class 5 felony.
*note - struck text has been replaced with [removed] by me as strike through is not an option here.
I think it is pretty clear that it refers to those that have intent and actually use violence to cause destruction. The conspiracy (the power that allows the arrest before the action) requires INTENT and that is clearly stated. The Riot requires that "such person recklessly uses force or violence or threatens to use force or violence." Again, pretty clear as far as I can tell.
"The stupidity from the 4th Reich of the Republican party, never ceases to amaze."
What amazes me is the propensity of people to make claims like the above based on what garbage they are fed rather than going to the actual source that is right there for everyone to see. Hell, we are almost 70 posts in and no one that I seen even bothered to look up what was actually passed. This is why the media, in its entirety, has been attacked and ignored as 'false' news. Almost everything they put out there is sensationalized garbage that is teetering on outright lies, even the 'reputable' sources, because sensationalism is what sells. Here is a small hint, whenever an article talks about a bill, the full text is readily available online.
As we can see, the actual text of the bill shows it only targets rioters.
This idiot oreo is likely a paid protester himself.
