Burn it to the mother fucking ground. The line must go down.
I'm worried about the next Rittenhouse. Stay safe out there and watch out for the "good guy with a gun"
I love when someone brings up Rittenhouse because I dated someone who went to high school with him, so I know quite a bit about him.
Turns out all of the signs were there and his mom encouraged that type of stuff :)
They're often are signs. I was at school with someone that ended up being a murderer. He was a super weird kid, his father wasn't around and his mother was an alcoholic so he never really had a great upbringing, schools response to all this was to get him suspended whenever he acted up.
Where can a civilian get a good bulletproof vest?

I’m sick of worrying about being killed over my freedom of speech in this so called free country and I think I’d rather die by calling out some fascist than cancer or living under tyranny anyways.
None of you are immortal so figure it the fuck out.

If I was insuring Tesla or their showrooms in any way, I would see to get rid of this contract as fast as possible.
I wouldn't. That would be covered under the force majeure clause, so no need to pay anything to Tesla, but you can increase premiums by a lot and earn crap loads doing absolutely nothing.
This guy insurances.
There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism."
It's perfectly reasonable to think that at least some of these could be false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to give them cover to arrest innocent people and eventually declare martial law. The more that possibility is part of the mainstream conversation, the more wind it takes out of their sails towards accomplishing those goals.
I wish the stock price would just collapse already along with organic consumer demand for the cars themselves evaporating into nothing so it could whither and die a natural death.
As much as I hate Musk, I'm not a fan of seeing property damaged. Not because I love the property, but because it's too easy to leverage it as terrorism by a regime that has a hard-on for labeling anything it doesn't like as such. Consumer collapse and bankruptcy would be beautiful to behold.

Imagine invoking Martian law (pun intended, because of the Alien act) due to someone bullying a billionaire by burning their cars.
Very accommodating terrorists. I don't think setting fire to things can be considered an act of terrorism. At worst it's arson.
It's not like anyone's even been injured.
nothing stopping them now, its just merely propaganda for the republican voters consumption. they dont need an excuse to do it.
The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.
Also, one that we surely don't talk about much, being hated by the general population. That might be correlation instead of causation though.

I love this. I love this so much.
It's a shame that lithium fires are hella toxic. Is love to grill up some hot dogs.
There are lots of Tesla protests going on every weekend. See https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown to find one near you.
Also see https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ for even more (not necessarily Tesla specific) protests going on all over the place all the time.
Participate in what you can.
...and of course the local police will protect the fucking Nazi owned dealerships.
That's a lot of coverage they know they probably shouldn't cover.....
I'd say that's a bad day to be near a Tesla dealership.
Already planning on it 😎
I'm curious if anyone knows if cars, especially electric cars, are vulnerable to EMPs?
Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard
My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.
“Everything’s computer”
With all the touch screens and computer controlled door handles I wouldn‘t bet on a Tesla in this showdown.
thats one of the many downsides of making everything computer

All cars with computers are vulnerable
While I think the legality for such a device is a gray area one strong enough to damage or stop a car could kill or injure anyone around with a cardiac device or other electronic medical equipment.
