Could you then explain how 20 people cannot be a riot? What is the threshold, and why?

If we need to discuss disaster preparedness, the threshold is a crowd so large that it cannot be dispersed by police within any short timeframe, ie, within an hour.

So a riot can be 10-20 people?


It seems 3 or more people usually meets the legal definition.

Yeah, so if we are using the legal definition, why are we talking about disaster preparedness measures?  not necessary to worry for your neighbourhood over three people.

Because you were imprecise in your statement, and said something you didn't mean to say. Something dumb. So, I helped you clarify. You're welcome!  =)

What if those people were Chuck Norris, Ghengis Kahn, and Charlie sheen in the middle of a 48 hour coke and pornstar binge...
