  • Second – To resist the execution of any law or of any legal process; or

  • Fourth – By means of criminal force or show of criminal force to any person, to take or obtain possession of any property, or to deprive any person of the enjoyment of a right of way, or of the use of water or other incorporeal rights of which he is in possession or enjoyment, or to enforce any right or supposed right; or
  • Fifth – By means of criminal force or show of criminal force, to compel any person to do what he is not legally bound to do or to omit to do what he is legally entitled to do.
