...I don't think it says what the driver was driving, and somehow that's driving me crazy. I thought to look it up because I figured it's gotta be a Tesla, but "a car" could mean any brand and another source suggests it's a fucking Nissan Pathfinder!
Reminds me that conservative fucks don't even drive EVs, it's really fucking funny to me that even this guy is driving a Japanese SUV instead of a Tesler.
Pathetic violence from the Republicans? Must be a day that ends in Y.
Ah...Florida. Understood. Go on. How many crocks did he have in the trunk? Did he claim them as his children on his taxes? Was there one in the driver's seat eating a cigar? Well there's your problem right there! I've never seen any crock driving straight while smoking a cigar, much less eating one!
Today you learned that the Florida man thing is a consequence of Florida being more transparent about arrests than other states. The same shit happens elsewhere, it's just not reported.
A peaceful group exercising their freedom of speech and assembly were met with an act of terror. Let's see how the freedumb lovers respond!
"Nobody was injured," said a spokesperson, "thank God they were driving a Cybertruck and not something with some actual power and ruggedness."
Were they driving a cybertruck?
I couldn't see it mentioned in the article.
No idea; I was just poking the Beast.
Cybertrucks are actually more dangerous to pedestrians in a collision due to their high, blunt hood and sharp corners.
it was able to slice a deer in half at certain speed.
Yep, it's big part of why they've not been approved for sale in the UK and probably other European countries.
I was just jabbing Elon. Any chance for a shot.
Cybertrucks are also more dangerous to pedestrians on the sidewalk who can be hit with flying metal panels as they fly off the trucks at speed.
... WTF!?
the panels are also so sharp when it collides with people it can just cut them into pieces.
I think it says everything that needs to be said that the left's reaction to disputes is to protest and maybe set some cars on fire, and the right's reaction is to (try to) kill people.
It wasn't his fault the car was in full self driving mode. Totally normal operation!
He was in fact also protesting.
He drove at low speed, so he was clearly aiming more for intimidation than injury. Sounds kind of like terrorism, but he's right wing, so the only charge is assault.
Terrorism does aim for injury though.
It can. It also may not.
its florida, you can reasonablly expect it to be a right winger.
Sounds kind of like terrorism
Christ. 😂
In Florida it's legal to run over protestors, maybe they will make that a federal rule
I don't know about that. I bet they say the protestors were assaulting and terrorizing the poor car by getting in its way
And like that, the AI robot army they're building gets rights.
I'm sure the GOP will be working overtime to try and brush that under the rug.
Do they even have to? All trump will have to say is that the guy is a great patriot and will invite him to next SOTU.
I can already hear him saying something like “maybe I should just change the law that says you can’t drive into protesters, who knows. maybe that’s something we’ll have to look into.”
That's already a thing in Florida.

I mean.......I honestly can't tell if you're getting wooshed by the original comment, or if you get it and I'm being wooshed by you.
Be given the medal of freedom and a ride in a tesla
Maybe we'll get lucky and the Tesla will lock him in while it self immolates.
