Isn't this exactly what negotiating with labor unions so workers have good quality of life was made to prevent?

More Americans will become terrorists, and it's no surprise. They have nothing to loose.

At first glance, from the thumbnail... I thought it was Christine Weston Chandler.

What a twist that would have been.

Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don't blow up or damage Tesla's at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can't sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can't sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can't sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That's the real way to fuck em.

TBF insurers could start denying coverage if it becomes an obvious concern: and it very clearly is.

Tesla only does direct sales, no dealerships. Otherwise, point taken. Carry on.

[–] tomi000 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Why does the title literally say "Tesla dealership"?

[–] mercano 5 points 42 minutes ago

Because that’s what the author is used to calling a place that sells cars.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Well, some dealerships should be blown up to ensure that all of them have insurance and that insurance is expensive.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 6 hours ago (5 children)

To all the pearl clutchers, it was Molotov cocktails and graffiti, not IEDs. She was vandalizing the dealership.

And upgraded to federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this for his partisan buddy instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.

A potential 20 year sentence! For $5,000 in damages to luxury vehicles.

[–] CharlesDarwin 31 points 5 hours ago

Meanwhile, the J6 terrorists are pardoned.

[–] taiyang 6 points 4 hours ago

Oh those mischievous 40 year old kids. I say let her go with a warning.

[–] Carmakazi 12 points 5 hours ago

In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both "unregistered Destructive Devices". It's the ATF's bailiwick so it's not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.

So she was returning her cybertruck

[–] Lon3star 33 points 8 hours ago

Heyyyy ohhh!

[–] SpiceDealer 7 points 5 hours ago

Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 hours ago

It must be just me, but I can't see who they are claiming did it.

[–] ninjabard 12 points 6 hours ago

That "reporter" should be fired for using such inflammatory language. Word play absolutely intended.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my god! That's horrible!

That she got caught.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

They've got the wrong person, this woman was with me at the time in question

[–] stopdropandprole 38 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

that can't be right, I swear I saw this exact person at the grocery near me, thousands of miles away from Loveland

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago

I am also Spartacus. We are all Spartacus. It couldn't have been her, I saw her somewhere else. I think with you.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

It was't explosives

Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism

Nelson was immediately arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail after being charged with explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony, authorities said.

“…caught trying to plant additional explosive devices”

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 hours ago

heh, I immediately thought: "what, was she putting keys in the ignitions?"

[–] korendian 23 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don't have anything against sticking it to the man, but there are better ways to go about this.

[–] Manifish_Destiny 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Like what, building your own ultra fast kamakaze drone and going after a terrorist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Regular drones would work just fine.

On an unrelated note: isn't it funny that the guy tracking @elonsjet is on mastadon!

Is it fair that this woman is locked up somewhere while Elon Musk roams free?

[–] CharlesDarwin 6 points 5 hours ago

Don't forget the J6 terrorists!

All let out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

She obviously could have just used a handheld sphere of steel

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 hours ago

Not all heroes wear capes

[–] tanisnikana 19 points 9 hours ago

No, she was with me all day.
