why does the site seem like a place to investigate a riot? were there posters saying "I'm leaving now to go riot"?

If there is nothing specific, then why is this allowable at all?

And if there is something specific, then why can't they request those specific messages?

DisruptJ20 appears to have been created for the quite specific purpose of organising people to disrupt the presidential inauguration through illegal "direct action" tactics, with particular focus on teaching people to interfere with police checkpoints, resist arrest, etc. (By the way, remember those photos of the endless empty seats at the inauguration parade? The site in question has a post up bragging about how they shut down most of the security checkpoints, stopping people from entering: https://archive.is/SZwAO For some reason that didn't make the press, then or now.)
I suspect because it's a complete and utter lie and there's no evidence to support it.
