Even if you ardently believe what the protestors are doing is laudable, surely you can see how there is a different standard for different people.

It actually is in some places, possibly because the cigarettes could have drugs or poison in them. somehow I doubt if it is ever enforced.

So far they haven't beat anyone up or set anything on fire.

Here's the real difference:
"It's no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform."
"Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism. She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election." - Ryan Mahoney, Kemp for Governor
Armed black Americans scare the bejeezus out of white Americans and are to be condemned. The armed white Americans are hailed as patriots.

Yes, there is a different standard. Selling bootleg cigarettes that have not paid the taxes is a crime. The state will lose money so they will go after you like a rabid IRS agent.
What the protestors are doing it not laudable, it is necessary. The protestors are exercising their First Amendment rights. These are the people's rights, not the government's. Nothing illegal in what they are doing because they are exercising their civil disobedience and right to throw off tyranny by a governor. CA could be next if Newsom doesn't wise up very quickly.
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes a duty.
