Pam Bondi Calls Tesla Vandalism ‘Domestic Terrorism,’ Promising Consequences

www.nytimes.com Pam Bondi Calls Tesla Vandalism ‘Domestic Terrorism,’ Promising Consequences

The attorney general echoed remarks by President Trump, as protesters against Elon Musk and his efforts to shrink the government have defaced and destroyed Tesla vehicles.

I'll take this opportunity to remind people that Tesla vehicles are surveillance devices, and that the cops have access to facial recognition software. Plan your life accordingly.

It's not terrorism, it's just freedom fighters' shenanigans

Read up now on jury nullifcation.

Didn’t these people advertise that they’re all domestic terrorists at the RNC?
- Wait, that wasn't photoshopped???
  edit: nvm - this party has truly become a parody of itself. And not just since then. Nobody should be surprised anymore, but it still happens again and again.
  
  A parody of itself, that’s pretty good. Accurate too.

- This right here lol

Just a reminder that HitlerPig loves her because when he was running for president in 2016, she was the Florida AG, and they were about to fine HitlerPig $25 million for fraud over his HitlerPig University scam. He gave her a $25,000 contribution to her reelection campaign, and she dropped the lawsuit. So he knows she's in his pocket. Now she's been rewarded with the AG position.
That, and her enormous fake boobies.
- Bribery is absurdly cheap
  
  I just saw a report that the MuskRat is contributing the max amount to the re-election campaign of any congressional Republican that speaks out against the judge they are currently angry at. Thats only $3500 per donation, pocket change for a Sociopathic Oligarch like the MuskRat.
- It's early in the morning here and this already made my day.

But if someone torches a Toyota Camry or spray paints a Ford F150 it's just vandalism. Only when it affects the richest man in the world is it considered terrorism.
- Unpopular take, but I do believe this qualifies as terrorism. Definition 1, "the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives." Definition 4, "intimidation or coercion by instilling fear". Haven't seen it escalate to the level of physical violence, fist/gun fights yet. But it meets the definition of terrorism.
  "SELL YOUR SWASTIKAR NAO." Sounds to me like...intimidation or coercion by instilling fear.
  There is more than slight difference between setting a single Toyota Camry on fire or spraypainting a single Ford F150 & specifically torching 10 Tesla charging stations, torching/shooting 17+ Tesla cars, latexing a Tesla robot, and damaging 4+ Tesla showrooms. An isolated incident can be written off as vandalism; multiple specifically targeted attacks (at least 32 objects, properties of like brand) & fuck knows how many more swastikas & nonsense put on cars out in the wild...that strikes me as the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives. AKA, terrorism. You can't do or encourage the literal definition of a thing & then deny you're that thing. If you're going to be a bitch, you gotta be the whole bitch.
  
  And I don't 100% disagree. I'm just pointing out the double standard. If J6 was just a peaceful protest after they vandalized property, terrorized elected officials, and attacked police, then how is vandalizing Teslas terrorism? Either it's all terrorism or none of it is. If you choose what's terrorism and what's not based on who it affects and not what actually happened you're just putting targets on specific people. As you said, if you're going to be a bitch, you gotta be the whole bitch.
- Funny how just a few years ago those same people wouldn't even have pissed on a burning Tesla. Musk decides to do a Nazi salute and all of a sudden conservatives love Tesla now.
  
  Those same people invaded our nations capital in an attempt to over throw our government... And now they are in charge of the government.

Yes there will be consequences.
Insurance rates for Tesla's going way up.
- The market will take care of it!

Remember to never bring your phone with you and use the woods to escape.
- Seriously good advice. Particularly since you can and will get charged with a terrorism offense. Let's be honest here, people are going after Tesla because of what Musk is doing in the government. That means that people are using violence and intimidation in order to intimidate a civilian population or influence government policy. I really doubt that prosecutors will not have trouble making such charges stick. Just because you're the good guys, doesn't mean you won't spend a lot of years in prison if you get caught.
  (5) the term "domestic terrorism" means activities that—
    (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
    (B) appear to be intended—
        (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
        (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
        (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States
  
  I'm sure you know this but freedom fighters have long been called terrorists to try to delegitimize their cause. It takes a very special kind of bravery to risk everything and more for what you believe in, Knowing that you'll be slandered and slurred by what you're fighting against. I just hope in the end they're all vindicated.
  On another note, it's wild that when the other side commits the same actions listed above it is never officially labeled as terrorism. We're all living in crazy land.
  
  Let's be honest here. There is no violence. Expropriation is not violence.
  The capitalist denial of a difference between people and things is a major foundation of fascism.
  
  Burning cars because you dislike Musk isn't terrorism.
- Face paint in patterns to disrupt facial recognition and small rock in a shoe to change your gait
- Wear gloves
  Have a change of clothes
  Have alibis
  Spray cameras if you can

Yeah, well I consider Pam Bondi even existing in my reality personal terrorism.

Considering Tesla's habit of manufacturing vehicles that randomly combust... Are we sure all of these are acts of vandalism? You're telling me that during record sales slumps and heightened apathy that the massive grifter definitely isn't cutting corners on safety?
- I think he is setting fire to them himself. I mean how else can Elon get money back on all these cars he can't sell. I be shocked if there is actually people out setting these on fire.
  It's a fucking setup, to goddamm convenient.

How DARE people attack a white South African man?!
- You jest, but "persecution of whites in South Africa" is literally something MAGA people complain about.
- By literally not engaging them. Terrorists!!!
- The racist liberals are attacking an African-American.

It might be illegal but it is also pretty based.
I don’t advocate doing it of course and as OP stated, they are basically driving surveillance cameras.
- It's not a vandalism it's a Roman paint job.
  Also Roman knows how to check manual where the cameras are.

Inflation of terms. To move attention away from yourself. Every accusation is an admission. MAGAGOP

- She should get in line.
  Against a wall.

These scumbags crying over cars while promoting genocide... Welcome to USA!

Maybe someone e will ask to see results of this only to get Rickrolled again? Hope for incompetence, prepare for malign intent, I suppose.

Pam bottled Blondie

I really hope it’s Elon or someone else on the right doing this to frame elon haters. Because if this really is someone who hates Elon doing this that just makes people want to side with him more
- Funny, in the conversations I've had with random people on this topic, the only one who objected to this action did so because he said it should have been Musk, not the cars. The rest were entirely in favor.
