You and your comrades argument is "how big of a weapon is acceptable for an act of violence?" not what protected rights are being violated that lead to the acts of violence. Is throwing a rock at someone an acceptable form of response to speech you don't like? Or is a tank the line for which we say that's too extreme of a violent response?
Both sides are guilty of acts of violence. Both sides espouse ideology that is anti-freedom. This woman is not a hero or a victim, she was part of the problem.

We are useing motorized vehicles in our examples because that is quite literally what was used in the attack in Virginia.
I don't see an answer to my question, so I'll ask again - can I ram my tank through a public building, or does my unrestricted movement maybe have some restrictions on it after all?

Of course you can't, a public library is not public property designed for the movement of said tank. A public roadway is designed for just that purpose.
Is it OK to barricade your driveway because I don't like you?
