A person who knowingly participates in either of the following acts
or occurrences is guilty of a misdemeanor: (1) The assembly of two or more persons for the purpose of

and before any member of the assembly has inflicted injury to the
person or property of another; or (2) The assembly of two or more persons, without authority of law,
for the purpose of doing violence to the person or property of one
