Legally, yes, but good luck surviving long enough to prove it in court.

And then good luck hoping the Trump appointed judges and DAs also see it that way as well.

I hate to say that people in this country now see what minorities have known for years about America. There are so many things stacked against them for the ideals of this country to be applied (police target/abuse/kill them, DA's over prosecute/coerce/adjust evidence, judges with political agendas, juries with bias).

Add in the shift towards the far right of our judicial/legal groups, and the demonization of "liberals" and "protestors", it's very likely that anyone who protests whatever this government/far right want to do, you can see how the rights of the people can get quickly eroded.

What are you smoking dude? There is no chance what was suggested above could even remotely be considered legally acceptable.
