So I just started a few fires and escaped. Any way to do it WITHOUT getting shot? Why can't I just throw the molotovs and run away? Why does it all stop burning once I leave? How much damage do I have to do?

Spray painting the compound did not work. They just spray it with CCS logos. Believe me. I tagged EVERY SINGLE WALL.

Throw molotovs at unarmed guys, you won't get shot.  That's all you can do now.

Best way to shut down the CCS is by killing conservatives at their site.  The key is to kill someone after you reach "Massive Conservative Response Imminent".

Further combat advice:  It doesn't matter who you kill at the CCS headquarters, so initiate combat on a small, poorly-armed group.  Generally, prostitutes, preachers, and office workers are unarmed.  Telemarketers, Crackheads (it's one word in the CCS HQ, maybe), and bikers are lesser-armed.

Generally, anyone with the word "mercenary" or "veteran" in their title will be packing rifles and armor.  Don't initiate combat with them.

Consider running from numerous, heavily armed groups.  But, remember fighting gives you one attack before the conservatives can attack you (and hopefully will reduce the numbers), whereas running gets you shot in the back by all the conservatives.

Also, the CCS starts out weak, with many of the non-redneckish members unarmed, and few rifles.  So, hit 'em hard and quick.  Even six gangbangers with pistols and armor can take out the CCS early on.  Just juice them up a little first.

Note that you can equip a couple dozen molotov's on a person before going out. Then you just reload every other round until your out.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

You could just make backups of your saves if something goes really, really wrong.

The punt gun. A REAL gun. Wiki it if you don't believe me.
Heh. Any fans of the Tremors films on this forum?

Ever see an 8 gauge shotgun? First used for similar purposes, now used to remove slag from the walls of industrial furnaces.
