Question: 1 / 50

What constitutes the offense of Riot?

Displaying a firearm in public

Participating in an assemblage of seven or more persons

Riot is defined as participating in an assemblage of seven or more persons where at least one person engages in disorderly conduct that creates a substantial risk of causing public alarm. Therefore, displaying a firearm in public (A), sending repeated electronic communications to harass (C), and creating noxious odors in public (D) do not meet the criteria for rioting as they do not involve a group of seven or more individuals causing disorderly conduct. Additionally, displaying a firearm in public may fall under a different offense such as brandishing a weapon or carrying a concealed weapon. It is important to note that the number of people involved in the assemblage and the nature of their conduct are key factors in determining if a riot has occurred.
