its easy to get away with whatever you want when you have Police refusing to arrest you, DA's refusing to prosecute you, and Politicians cheering you on as champions of the people, and the Vice president paying your bail to get you back on the street.
and when anyone defends themselves from you, the Police arrest them, DAs throw them in jail, and politicians lambast you as a "alt right terrorist".
"peaceful protestor"
"insurrectionist"
