It is not true that the constitutional right to peaceably assemble has been revoked under the leftist anarchotyranny that now prevails. You can only assemble if it is for a politically correct purpose, but liberals have compensated for this by lifting the requirement that the assembly be peaceable.

The Manhattan DA confirms that assembling for the purpose of rioting, looting, and vandalizing in the name of Black Lives Matter ideology has official sanction:

Good news for protesters arrested in Manhattan on charges of Unlawful Assembly and Disorderly Conduct: Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. announced Friday his office will not prosecute these arrests “in the interest of justice.”

Social justice, that is.

In contrast, this sort of assembly will meet with punishment:

As looting, arson and assault swept New York last Saturday, pro-lifers Bevelyn Beatty and Edmee Chavannes were arrested for praying for the lives of human beings like George Floyd in front of a Manhattan Planned Parenthood abortuary.

Beatty and Chavannnes are black, but as Candace Owens could tell you, the current power play by leftists isn’t really about race. Actual racists like Black Lives Matter are only a tool the mainly white liberal ruling class has been utilizing in the naive belief that the Frankenstein monster they have created will always do its bidding.

What about gatherings that have no political significance? As a rule, those are banned too. Only leftist intent can justify public congregations. But ways can be found around this.

Ace Speedway in Elon, North Carolina had been warned by Democrat Governor Roy Cooper that a crowd of more than 25 would violate lockdown restrictions. But over 2,000 attended a race Saturday night, after management put up a sign that read, “This event is held in peaceful protest of injustice and inequality everywhere.”

The sign must have worked, because so far as I know, no one was dragged off in handcuffs, as when North Carolina patriots protested against the suspension of fundamental rights in the name of the Wuhan coronavirus. Alamance County Sheriff Terry S. Johnson confirmed that he would not cite the track owner, although Cooper did growl that if nonapproved gatherings continue, “the state will have to take action, which we will do if the local officials don’t.”
