IMO there should be some nuance between setting "some things" on fire and setting a building on fire. A pile of burning debris in the middle of the road may serve a purpose, like impeding law enforcement.
If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.
