What Constitutes Disturbing the Peace?

Laws exist that make it a crime to create a public disruption or commotion. These laws vary from state to state, but they typically prohibit:

Fighting or challenging someone to fight in a public place;
Using offensive words in a public place likely to incite violence;
Shouting in a public place intending to incite violence or unlawful activity;
Bullying a student on or near school grounds;
Knocking loudly on hotel doors of sleeping guests with the purpose of annoying them;
Holding an unlawful public assembly;
Shouting profanities out of a car window in front of a person's home over an extended period of time;
Allowing excessive dog barking in a residential area; and
Intentionally playing loud music during the night that continues, even after a fair warning.
In most states, the person's conduct must have been on purpose (willful) or with bad intent (malicious). It is not enough that a person engaged in conduct that merely annoyed, harassed, or embarrassed someone else. If fighting was involved, it must have been unlawful, and not in self-defense or the defense of others.

To determine guilt, courts look at the particular circumstances of each case. Some of the factors a judge may consider include the location, time, place, words, actions, and the person spoken to or touched (for example, a police officer, teacher, student, relative or passerby).

Common actions that do not constitute disturbing the peace can include:

Engaging in horseplay;
Simply embarrassing someone;
Merely annoying someone;
Accidentally bumping into someone; and
Giving someone a gesture such as the middle finger.

A number of right wing nationalist terrorists were illegally holding people at gunpoint in New Mexico. The FBI has so far only made one arrest but more are soon to come. Obviously Trumps justice department will try to soft peddle this but the men playing soldier will be held accountable in New Mexico if the Feds drop the ball.

From this mornings Guardian:

A member of an armed rightwing m*****a group accused of illegally detaining migrants at the US-Mexico border has been arrested, officials said on Saturday.

Videos appear to show armed m*****a detaining migrants at US-Mexico border

The FBI arrested Larry Mitchell Hopkins, 69, for alleged unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition , days after his group posted videos that appeared to show armed men stopping migrants at the border in New Mexico, ordering them to sit on the ground and coordinating with US border patrol agents to have them taken into custody.

“Today’s arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes,” the New Mexico attorney general, Hector Balderas, said in a statement.

On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) called for an investigation into the pro-Trump, anti-immigrant men who have been patrolling the border and calling themselves the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP).

The ACLU in New Mexico described the group as “an armed f*****t m*****a organization” made up of “vigilantes”, saying they were working to “kidnap and detain people seeking asylum” and had directly made illegal arrests and kidnappings and held people at gunpoint.

Of course that’s their description, they are an anti-American organization that has enough troubles of their own to worry about. You won’t hear another thing about this unless someone gets hurt or k**led, which would more than likely be a US citizen, then we won’t hear from you or the ACLU, because it wouldn’t fit your narrative.

Funny how you don’t post anything about Mexican nationals “kidnapping” at gun point, US military, on US soil. You’re so t***sparent.

May the Lord keep these brave citizens and their families safe as they continue with this righteous endeavor, Amen.
