| Message | We support the freedom of assembly, though believe that the police should have the right to interfere if the assembled group manages to pose a risk to public safety. This could potentially prevent disasters such as riots from occuring if the assembled group happens to be a controversial one that either gets out of control or causes others to lose control. |

| Message | We wish to stop abuses and if any such groups did break the law then they of course would be arrested. However simply assembling shouldn't be illegal. |
