Well, I don't see a particularly safe way of leaving when the house is threatened by a mob throwing flaming bottles and pointing lasers.
I also value my own life, and my life's energy, and am unwilling to have my home burned to the ground. If people chose to attempt to destroy my home, well, they made their own bed.

If someone was trying to set my house on fire I take the dogs and leave. I had a friend in Kansas whose husband kept a loaded shotgun in the closet and she was taught to use it. Their kids were grown and no grandchildren. One night a guy broke in and all the while telling her what he was going to do with her once her husband was dead. She got the gun and killed him. She was so traumatized that she never allowed another gun in the house although it probably saved both their lives.
I understand at least a few of those fires were ignited by flash-bang grenades.
I would be interested to see what the political leanings of violent participants in these demonstrations are.
Of course, I'm not a neutral party, but I'd guess they would be anarchists (who show up for any and all demonstrations), agents provocateurs (usually righties), and maybe a left-leaning radical or two. The vast, vast majority of the crowd (as reported by media and my friends) are peaceful and passionate. The goons appearance draws anarchists and agents provocateurs. They should go back where they came from.
