    the defendant in the lawsuit can use the plaintiff’s participation
    in a "riot," as defined by the 2021 law, as "an affirmative defense."

    This means that the person being sued can argue in court that their
    action was justified by the riot.

This last bit seems like a pretty firm assertion. What is your source for it?

For starters, the headline of your link disproves your assertion.

Second, a rioter is not the same as a protestor.

Third, someone must have been in threat from a rioter to use that defense successfully.
