As noted, Mattvision took this to US events. I responded to that.
Looks like you responded to the wrong post.
Just to clarify, I was using those as examples to compare your definition of rioting. There aren't many easy examples in the UK like there are in the US. I wasn't conflating UK legislation with US events, hence my last line about the UK already being too much of an authoritarian dump anyway.
Since harassment is considered violence, Maxine Waters did a call to violence when she called on everyone to harass the Trump administration.
Careful where you tread buddy. What you're suggesting is dangerously close to making it illegal to criticize politicians. Putting the law aside, if you're going to put yourself in a position of ruling over 328 million people and making decisions that could shatter their livelihoods on a whim, then you better at least have a thick enough skin to deal with what they have to say, and how often they decide to say it.
From your perspective, the first amendment only applies on public property, right? I can absolutely agree with that, as you said, public property and private property can't be treated the same. But if that's the case, shouldn't we extend that to public citizens/government actors as well? Harassing an elected politician is not the same as harassing a regular person, for the exact same reason that protesting on public property is not the same as protesting at someone's house without their consent.
What you're suggesting is
Ain't no suggesting. She literally broke the law, incited violence with a political agenda. That's straight up terrorism.

Anything not private property is public. Every time, the results of such legal issues binds all public places with Constitutional laws since the premise is that private property is not state property. To that point, I can carry any kind of weapon I want on my own private property and so can anyone else (on my property) until I tell them otherwise. There's a totally different treatment between public and private.
Well, if it's not peaceful...
Look at it this way... harassing someone is (in the US, if we're nitpicking) considered violence and is prosecuted as such. It doesn't matter if all you're doing is driving by their house and calling them vile names every day or just showing up at their workplace for 5 minutes so you can make 15 seconds of eye contact. It's harassment. Since harassment is considered violence, Maxine Waters did a call to violence when she called on everyone to harass the Trump administration. Since that's violence with a political or social agenda, it is terrorism. That there is codified into law, by the way... doesn't matter if it's person or property, politician or public.
Peaceful assembly is getting together to talk, standing and holding signs (if on private property then with permission, if public then not impeding people or business), chanting slogans, and so on. Anything else is not peaceful assembly.
Lots about me.... like wasting someone's time is theft. But that's another discussion.
