Police looking for Volvo linked to ballot box fires in Oregon and Washington
A black or dark-colored Volvo S-60 has been identified as a "suspect vehicle" by police.
Fucking conservatives will do anything to get Trump elected.
Yes. Take that seriously.
This doesn't make sense though. They could destroy thousands of ballots and it's not like either of those states are going to go to Trump.
Yes sabotaging elections via fire bomb in ballot box is not a rational action.
It's probably some terrorist asshole LARPing as a freedom fighter thinking they are "sending a message" more than actually trying to directly sabotage vote tallies.
But it could win them more local elections, and then we get fuckery like what’s happening in Florida and Texas all up in our business.
Local elections matter too, and often more, than national ones.
I read elsewhere that one of the locations is in a district with a competitive House race.
Chaos makes a coup easier.
Both states in these areas have toss-up Congressional races. They could decide control of the House.
It's probably some asshole LARPing as a freedom fighter thinking they are "sending a message" more than actually trying to directly sabotage vote tallies.
I guess Clarkson was wrong (again): Not everyone who drives a Volvo is a nice person.
I wouldn't be surprised if they chose it because people would assume that a volvo driver wouldn't be a conservative. Like a disguise!
I've only known two people who drove Volvos in my life. Both of them were rich conservatives.
Gen 1 Volvo S60 (2000-2009), black, dark blue, or charcoal gray.
Unknown rear plate?
... SovCit Imaginary Ambassador of the Peoples Republic of My House's Property Limts License?
Yeah whoever installed the security cameras really failed, they should have had 3, one for front, one for back, and one for faces.
Of those 558 how many have black rims? Probably less than half
This is also a model other than R, since the R line for that year range has special headlights.
Careful now, don’t want to dig too deep on this one. If you expose that a cop did this, they’ll make your life hell.
Coincidentally also what liberals have been spamming on Lemmy along with actual real life blue PACs, with all that talk about “we’ll know if you voted, and we’ll remember.”
Totally a sign of a healthy democracy and an indicator that Dems are totally different and on the good side, nothing to see here.
Witch Hunt! Lets gooooo. Jk let's not repeat the Boston Marathon thing.
It's okay, that was Reddit. It could never happen here. /s
We did it Reddit!
Yeah let's not do anything about voter suppression
Another moron who is going to prison for Trump.
I live here in Vancouver and will be on the lookout, but I'm not optimistic. Police in Vancouver basically do almost nothing on crime and are filled with a bunch of people that want to see the city go to shit so they can blame Democrats.
FInd the fascist, folks.
Would this land someone in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison?
I think it’s a first class ticket
We can do better than prison rape jokes :/
Maybe we can focus on Office Space jokes instead
WILD that you’re getting downvoted. Seems some agree a person can “deserve to be raped”… y’all need to do better.
Idgaf if they’re convicted of the most heinous crime, rape and mental torture was not part of the sentence handed out in court. Never mind that there’s thousands of people who are wrongly convicted.
How about shiving jokes?
Car doesn't look black to me. Charcoal or titanium or some such.
Seats are beige leather/synthetic, not fabric.
Holy crap that newspaper's site is a dumpster fire of popups and ads.
Those radicals in their Volvos!
@pruwybn not the brand of car I expected lol
Probably intentional misdirection!
What the hell? .... There is open hostility and controversy during a major US election and they decided to just leave a big giant ballot box unsecured and open to the public? I thought they would have these things secured in a major buildings or monitored by live guard 24 hours a day until the election was completed.
We have them installed out in the open outside public libraries and City Hall. You skip having to add a USPS delay, coupled with text messages from the election office verifying they got it. They're great if you don't feel like standing in line on election day. Never had problems.
Nobody thought there would be dipshits out there who thought setting them on fire was a sane idea.
That would be prohibitively expensive. Many are monitored, and they all include fire suppression systems.
You going to pay for the guards?
America did that before and it didn't go well
