In any street, highway, public building, or while in or on a public conveyance, or public place engages in conduct having a direct tendency to cause acts of violence of the person or persons at whom, individually, such conduct is directed; provided, that such conduct shall not be deemed to include the utterance or display of any words or to include conduct otherwise made punishable under state law; or

(b)

Wilfully, or being intoxicated, whether wilfully or not, disrupts any meeting of the board of supervisors or a division or agency thereof, or of any school, literary society or place of religious worship, if such disruption prevents or interferes with the orderly conduct of such meeting or has a direct tendency to cause acts of violence by the person or persons at whom, individually, such disruption is directed; provided, that such conduct shall not be deemed to include the utterance or display of any words or to include conduct otherwise made punishable under state law.
