That is absolutely what they are doing.

I think they are provoking us and intentionally doing stuff like this so much in our faces so that it will anger us and then mass protests will follow.

Pacifying the population by repeatedly pocking everyone with sharp sticks?

Left Wing Activism didn't exist twenty years ago. It was confined to the larger and more liberal cities a decade ago.

This is like fighting California wildfires with buckets of kerosene.
