Says the administration where the president himself committed crimes without consequence.
Everyone say it with me.
Jury nullification
If they get due process and not just undocumented deportation
We are now living in the United States of dictatorship. Enjoy everybody.
Its an oligarchy, just like russia
Russia isn't an oligarchy.
Oligarchy is when the select few rich have political power.
Which is the one thing Putin doesn't allow the rich of Russia to have.
Dictatorship? Sure. Authoritarian? Sure.
But oligarchy is just propaganda against Russia. Even before president Musk America was far far more oligarchic.
Ok, but who's in charge in Russia?
You don't see oligarchs pushing Putin out a window do you?
No, but he de facto owns russia
Touche.
Whatever happened to those January 6th insurrectionists?
The government is so upset about this you'd think people were torching police cruisers or Humvees.
Saying this is like pissing into an ocean of piss by now, but the corruption and conflict of interest on display is just nauseating.
They use 3 cases of arson and vandalism nationwide to discredit and undermine legal public free speech protest on public sidewalks in front of Tesla dealerships. The government wants the public to think that the legal protests are terrorism, and make people afraid to exercise legal free speech.
Courts dont matter anymore, didnt you hear? Your regime just started a game of cat and mouse they dont have the logistics to play.
They do matter to the poor folk, they will be bent over the barrel.
They're already getting bent over a barrel and most are too dumb to realize it
Yes, but it can get much worse
Look, the entire government folded like a bottom down bad. Its the dire times.
No arguments there. Stay safe
I expect these attacks to immediately increase. What idiocy.
lol
catch me bitch
the constitutions tenth amendment says:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
the constitution says nothing about attacking tesla electric cars. ipso facto you have no jurisdiction.
Klan Blondi
But she's not though, the law that she's charging people under is not the domestic terrorism law because it's obvious on the face of it that it is not terrorism and any defense attorney would have a field day with that charge.
What she is doing, is having people charged under malicious destruction of property. And in this instance, it's government property, because Tesla receives financial assistance from the federal government. I mean it's not actually government property, but as far as the laws concerned the charge can be the same.
Keep in mind too, that arson or use of explosives are going to be their own separate charge. And that if a person's intent is to say vandalize a Tesla dealership, probably the best way to do that would be some sort of liquid substance that would damage a whole lot of paint jobs very easily. And by best here, I mean you still may end up with a felony charge, but you likely won't do time if it's a first offense while still causing a lot of financial damage to Tesla.
When my younger brother vandalize a Hummer dealership with his friends, he did get a felony because of the amount of damage that they caused, but he did not do time in prison.
If he would have set those cars on fire, it would have been arson. And if it would have been government property, at least in the eyes of the law. The minimum sentence would be 5 years. Which is what Pam Bondi is pursuing.
I'm pretty sure defense attorneys will also have a field day claiming a Tesla for sale on a lot is government property.
I certainly hope so.
I heard shaving cream can damage car paint. It would be a real bummer if someone had a shaving cream fight near a dealership and some of it got on the cars to sit overnight.
We are all domestic terrorists
This is what I'm referencing. It's okay, I'm taking it back.
Isn't every crime terrorism when you're the victim? Oh... OOOOHHHH...ohhh. 😔
