Searching article for the word terrorism… Nope, even just “terr” only points me to “interrupted.”

Funny how they missed that. “Terrorism” around teslas is such popular news these days!

If the crowd had lynched the perp, you better believe it would have been terrorism.

Didn't Florida make it so that you can run over people if you feel threatened and are a white person? If this person feels threatened vicariously through elon I'm sure the courts will say it's A-OK

Even if they wanted to claim this, can it really extend to driving up in the sidewalk to get them? There must be some limit, right?

Before November id have said yes

I thought that was North Dakota during the pipeline protests by Native Americans when they were shutting down highways.

Imagine being so much of a simp for Elon fucking musk, that you drive your car into a crowd of people. This is for the loser who pays people play video games for him and kills poor people.

A sick delusional simp who follows Elon and right wing paid media too closely.

I bet this guy wanted to get to work and if no one was injured went at a crawl to push them out of the way, Musk is likely barely inconvenienced by any of this and would still fire this guy for being late.

It happened on the weekend, and he drove onto the sidewalk. (Both in the article) Yes it was at a slow speed, but he intentionally drove his car into a crowd of people to try to force them to disperse. He clearly doesn't believe in free speech or freedom of assembly and used a deadly weapon to force innocent people to do as he wanted.

Rotting in prison to own the libs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can you go in prison when it's something you've done while in your car? It seems un-American to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That’s nonsense but it somehow makes total sense to my American brain as well.
