They will want to think twice now.
President Trump recently announced that he will be “authorizing” arrests of anyone who vandalizes statues or monuments on any federal property.
Rioters have destroyed several statues of former presidents and Trump wants to put a stop on all of the destruction.
He wrote, “I have authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent. This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!“

Trump also commented on extremists calling for an “autonomous zone” in Washington D.C.
He tweeted:
There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!
