I have a different take on these anarchists, I would be ruthless with them, treat them as enemies of the United States, terrorists and stick them in Gitmo. They are certainly not "my fellow Americans". The problem with coddling them, is it just encourages them. Breaking the law is not how civilized people live, it can't be tolerated. The 1st amendment protects the right pf the people to peaceably assemble, looting, burning and assaulting is not peaceably assembling, it is insurrection.
