At what point is violent civil unrest against a government justified?

One can possibly look at recent actions to assess how it would be received. “Sandwich guy” was acquitted. Several malicious prosecution attempts have been no-billed. Ethics are one issue but juries might find it justifiable. If the new signage on the Kennedy center came down via some vigilante tactics, they might not be able to prosecute

I was reminded after sandwich guy's acquittal about Sol Wachtler's famous line that district attorneys could get grand juries to "indict a ham sandwich". But even indictments are proving difficult on some of the more merit-free charges from the TDOJ. I would expect some seriously silly theatricals if someone tried to prosecute signage editing (restoration) on the KCPA.

What we found is that you can’t convict a salami sub.
