Not from the USA. How common is it for the fbi to meddle with simple shootings in which no kids or others were harmed?

MODERATORS
They're probably seeing if this was an act of economic terrorism. Feds are big on interstate commerce.
I mean, shooting at Nazis is one of the only productive ways of interacting with them.
Guess we'll never know who this badass person was. Oh well
Uh-oh. Maybe the right doesn't get a monopoly on violence anymore. Looks like lefties have guns too.
It's high time.
Maybe Tesla employees will see this as an opportunity to go find ways to be productive workers in society again and leave.
Rightwing influencers immediately leaped on the incident (and the questionable image) to claim that the “crazy left” was responsible for the attack, despite the fact that most liberals have an aversion to guns.
Jeez, what's it gonna take to get the media to learn/admit the difference between "liberals" and "the left" if not even literal gun violence can do it?
It's intentional. As Noam Chomsky said:
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum
There has been a deliberate effort to limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion to relatively moderate liberalism (the left) and relatively moderate conservatism (the right). The intent is to create the illusion that no political ideologies or possibilities exist outside of this narrow spectrum.
I think you meant to say extreme conservatism.
They next to get shot up don't worry. They been popping off for too long
Those poor Tesla shareholders. I'm glad the FBI is standing up for them.
if only their stock would shoot up too
despite the fact that most liberals have an aversion to guns.
I was surprised they linked 2017 data...
But I was even more surprised to see that up to 2024 nothing changed.

Really expected to see a spike for "lean Dem" who owned guns over that timespan, but numbers are steady.
Smart people aren't talking about it.
Oh no! Anyway...
Excellent
