Criminalization of normal behavior; applauding actual criminality.

I'd call this "Anarcho-tyranny", but that's just using selective enforcement to keep the criminals advancing your cause from being punished, and heavily punishing anyone that resists. This is a full step further. To quote Isaiah 5:20 "Calling evil good, and good evil."

It will eventually lead to a showdown for the people that are creating this tragedy.

They are hoping that they are seen as weak and unable to fight, and so are left alone.

In essence, they are shaking a hornets nest while stomping around a snakes hide, believing nothing bad will happen.
