It’s Now a Hate Crime to Vandalize Teslas in DC
(www.politico.com)
Tesla is a protected class?
That is what is happening. Tesla> Children
Someone please think of the Teslas!
The upper class. The rest of us are just plebs.
Teslas are not upper class. They’re cheap, shitty cars. The handful of people driving Cybertrucks are paying 100k, but that’s not because they’re upper class, they’re just financially irresponsible.
Musk is the upper class being hurt by the Tesla hate.
Maybe you should slow down on the hate speech, pal. You're getting awful crimey with that talk.
Fascists are super thin-skinned whiny babies.
If simple vandalism is punished so harshly, may as well go all in and torch the fucking things. There's really no reason to stop at keying or painting anymore. Cosmetic damage is being punished as though they're being rendered completely useless.
And edgelord baby billionaire should be happy since people will have to buy new cars, and surely his cars are gonna be their first choice, right?
If vandalism carries a harsher penalty than storming the Capital, well...
Might as well storm the capitol AND blow up some Teslas.
I'm sure many would like to drive a tesla into the Capitol, except they wouldn't want to suffer the indignation of being seen driving one.
Between this and using wartime powers to deport people during peacetime, they're just abusing all the laws.
Aye, fascism doesn’t believe in law or justice. Just power.
No one doing shit to stop them so why would they not ? They have no moral or empathy of anykind
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
What crimes, other than storming the Capital during an official government proceeding and injuring over 150 police officers, are done out of love?
- Hiding migrants
- Feeding the poor
- Kicking the police off someone they're choking out
- shooting CEO's
I can think of a few I'm not allowed to write.
This will 1000% lead to some horrible bullshit when fsd inevitably plows into something it failed to see and a subsequent lawsuit against the victim…
Excellent job, dumbfuck MAGA shitheads.
Kudos to the non-voting lefties for the assist!
Sounds woke
It’s not vandalizing, it’s simply making people see it in a new light.
The light of a Molotov Cocktail.
Snowflakes are now a protected class.
Just wait outside the jurisdiction limits and vandalize them as they enter and leave DC. 😏
Well, I hate it!
