Fireworks and flares are pretty common, yeah.

But then again, when you've been designated as "terrorists" due to protesting against ICE, fireworks turn into explosives, and suddenly there's no difference between bottle rockets and a IED.

No one is arguing that the guy that shot the guard shouldn't face harder punishments, even though he argued that he was shooting in self-defense of the other members. Charging and sentencing those other protesters for plotting to kill someone is ridiculous.
