A. “Riot” is defined as the use of force or violence, or threat to use force or violence, if accompanied by immediate power of execution, by three or more persons acting together and without authority of law.

B. An “unlawful assembly” occurs when three or more persons assemble:

1. With intent, or with means and preparations, to do an unlawful act, which would be riot if actually committed, but do no act toward the commission of riot;

2. Without authority of law, and in a manner adapted to disturb the public peace or excite public alarm, or disguised in a manner to prevent them from being identified.

C. Any person participating in a riot or an unlawful assembly is an ordinance violator. (Ord. 210 § 4, 1978; 1978 code § 9.36(3))
