This fool is going to get shot.
I assume it's a joke, but the guy said professional tactical gear and firearms apparently, as well as teargas and such. If he's not joking I'd say their odds of going to prison are pretty good. Premeditating and provoking a situation with deadly weapons instead of contacting actual authorities and following the laws/procedure doesn't seem like it would work out well for anyone.
Isn't that the exact gear that cops use to break up homeless encampments?
Whether we like it or not, those cops are the proper procedure/authorities in said situation. Thus they are allowed by law. I can't just hire a neighbor to show up to a homeless camp with said gear and expect when something goes wrong for them not to get arrested for murder/battery, and probably be arrested for something else. Paying them to do so probably has a different terminology than an accessory. Might fall under the rico shit, not sure

I sure hope he does!
Ads for this type of services show up in craigslist regularly where I live. Named organizations like Viking Acquisitions or FAFO LLC post weekly. I bugged the local newspaper about it, but they were disinterested.
Then I’ll train and purposely squat so that this stain can be humbled
I hope they eat bullets
