It's more that they were thwarted by the prospect of the actual authorities showing up and arresting them once the fire alarm went off. The Space KKK are hugely dangerous but they're still technically outlaw terrorists despite their implicit political support.

If they want to actually assassinate someone, they'll beat the guy to death in a parking garage or car bomb him or something.
Love LOTGH but I'm just jumping in to say the PKC is pretty clearly modeled on actual far right groups that do that stuff. In Japan in the 1980s I'm sure but I've personally witnessed a group in the U.S. (me watching from Yang's perspectice) try to pull something like that off (sans grenades) and they were basically operating on a stopwatch to time their visit to go for about two minutes before booking it to escape any potential trouble with the cops. Other than the firehoses, wrestling with a space cat and, again, the grenades the depiction is pretty accurate and probably one of the most accurate depictions of what it's like to witness an IRL fascist group (today) when it's doing its thing that I've seen in a fictional medium. Also the use of vans / bigger trucks to move the whole unit in and out fast is spot on. U.S. and European groups use more light though so imagine all those guys having flashlights mounted on their uniforms creating a dazzle effect and some holding lit road flares while yelling a bunch. Like a smoke and light show designed to look intimidating. They try to be spooky: doodly-doodly-doo!!
