It's the same bullshit they did with the CHAZ & Evergreen College.
They cry tyranny, then they immediately respond by sending the militia to set-up checkpoints, intimidate people, and search/interrogate them.
You have no obligation to pacify a lynch mob.
If I'm not gonna let a cop search my car for no reason, you damn sure ain't getting near it.
For no mob has any sand in the presence of a man known to be splendidly brave. Besides, a lynching mob would like to be scattered, for of a certainty there are never ten men in it who would not prefer to be somewhere else — and would be, if they but had the courage to go. When I was a boy I saw a brave gentleman deride and insult a mob and drive it away; and afterward, in Nevada, I saw a noted desperado make two hundred men sit still, with the house burning under them, until he gave them permission to retire. A plucky man can rob a whole passenger train by himself; and the half of a brave man can hold up a stagecoach and strip its occupants
