| Message | If we change this, the police will be severely limited in their ability to maintain the peace. The current law gives every citizen the right to peaceful assembly, with recourse to the Courts if that right is intruded upon. This is most equitable. |

| Message | 'Potential risk', this gives law enforcers the ability to assume. If we don't change this, the people will be limited in the freedoms that they deserve. |
| Date | 10:46:50, December 31, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |
| Message | We believe the current law may be usefull to disperse crowds like football hooligans, or potential rioting mobs.. |
| Date | 14:31:48, December 31, 2007 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |
| Message | We'll oppose. |
| Date | 02:04:47, January 01, 2008 CET | From | Tukarali Graenix Party | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |
| Message | Rioting mobs would be a state of emergency, so I'm sure it would be covered |
| Date | 12:54:42, January 01, 2008 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |
| Message | I said potential rioting mobs.. We do not believe a bureaucrat cannot assess the situation on the streets in a town hundreds of km away as well and as quickly as the police of that particular city can |
| Date | 12:54:55, January 01, 2008 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |

| Date | 07:59:47, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Shaman's Voice | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |

| Date | 22:55:21, January 02, 2008 CET | From | Monacelli Party | To | Debating the Right to Assemble |
