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.

If you get rid of the building only though and not the cars, that's double damage.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] obviouspornalt@lemmynsfw.com 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Why does the title literally say "Tesla dealership"?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] Lemmist@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 39 minutes ago

And if Tesla dealerships are significantly higher risk their insurance will go through the roof.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 70 points 7 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.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 29 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 36 points 6 hours ago

Meanwhile, the J6 terrorists are pardoned.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 14 points 6 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@lemmy.world 33 points 9 hours ago

Heyyyy ohhh!

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 126 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my god! That's horrible!

That she got caught.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 74 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 39 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 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

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 9 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.

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 23 points 8 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”

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 19 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] korendian@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Don't forget the J6 terrorists!

All let out.
