1. That the accused did riot, or did participate by instigating, promoting or aiding the same, whether personally present or not.
This section does not seek to prevent the peaceable assembling of persons for lawful purposes of protest or petition. A "riot" is a tumultuous disturbance of the peace by three or more persons acting together in the execution of some enterprise, lawful or unlawful, in such a violent and unauthorized manner as to create likelihood of public terror and alarm. (See §16-5-120).
If the purpose of the riot was to resist the enforcement of a State or Federal statute, or to obstruct a public officer in executing a mandate of a court, or if the offender carries a dangerous weapon, or is disguised, the penalty is imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $1,000, or both.
If the accused directed, advised, encouraged, or solicited other persons participating in the riot to acts of force or violence, the penalty is imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $500, or both.
In any other situation not mentioned above, the penalty is imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of $250, or both.
That the accused did engage in a riot, rout or affray.
2. That no weapon was used and no wound was inflicted.
A "rout" is the movement of unlawful assemblies on the way to carry out their common design; an attempt to commit an act which would be a "riot" if actually committed. An "affray" is a fight in a public place to the terror and alarm of the people. §16-5-130, a companion statute, covers more serious "riot" situations, and consequently, carries more severe penalties.
Fine of $100 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days.
That the accused did originate, utter, publish or circulate a false statement or matter.
That the accused did so with malicious intent.
3. That the statement or matter shall tend to injure the character or reputation of the person about whom it was published or uttered.
The criminal action in no way abridges the right of the person injured to have a civil action for damages for libel or slander.
Fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than 1 year, or both.
1. That the accused did throw, place, or deposit any stink bomb, tear gas bomb, or similar device which did contain foul or offensive odors, may inflict injury, or caused fear sufficient to incite a riot in or in close proximity to any public building, storehouse, theater, stadium, arena, private residence, boardinghouse, or other place where people lodge.
An officer engaged in his duties can not be charged under this section.

2. (a) That he did appear upon a lane, walk, alley, street, road, or highway or on public property while wearing a mask which concealed his identity.

If one was present at the commission of the crime either actively or constructively, he is a principal: if one was not present at the commission of the offense, he is chargeable under this section, but punishable as a principal. (See §16-1-50, Indictment and Conviction of Accessories).
The same penalty as the principal would receive.
