Incendiary devices? These are just the new teslas 🥱
This isn’t a comment in support of the actions described, but a comment about unintended consequences…
If you reclassify putting stickers on a car as domestic terrorism, you’re somewhat removing the disincentive for some in doing an actual terrorism.
Were the ‘devices’ just Tesla batteries?
Are they sure this isn’t the dealer trying to collect on insurance fraud? 🤭
Is it just me who wonders if this is a fabricated excuse to add armed guards to every Tesla dealer, just itching to use flamethrowers on “insurgents”?
In the US, do they outfit the Tesla armed guards with flamethrowers? I know they’re legal and I’ve seen clips of the CEO firing a flamethrower a lot.
I was making exactly that reference to the flamethrower wielding CEO.
I have no idea what security policy looks like for armed guards in the USA or elsewhere for that matter, but I figured that they’d be wearing guns and walkie-talkies by default. I figured that the flamethrower would be a valued accessory.
Haha aw I was hoping you were American so I could get that unique and bizarre perspective. Good that you’re not, though 🙂
I live in the US and have contracted security for events before. Most of them are just an unarmed visual deterrent wearing a uniform and a big walkie talkie (you called it!). Around here armed security is often off-duty police officers making a little extra money off the clock.
As someone from the US: no, it’s not standard policy to outfit armed guards with flame throwers.
Interesting! Learned something new today.
The only people I feel bad for here are the minimum wage employees at the Tesla dealerships. It’s just a job and you can also do it poorly and not sell any teslas, or maybe they work for a janitor service or security. None of those folks deserve to worry about their safety because the guy at the top is ruining the country - that part has nothing to do with them
You know, any contractor willing to work on that Death Star knew the risks. If they were killed, it was their own fault. A roofer listens to this… not his wallet.
It’s been enough time. People should find new work that doesn’t put them at risk.
That’s incredibly presumptuous. If you’re a janitorial service, or front office person from a temp agency living paycheck to paycheck it’s not a reasonable thing to do to ask them to change jobs because they’re assigned to work for the Tesla building. If we expected that of everyone nobody would ever work for insurance companies, pharma companies, big tech, oil, trucking, or literally anywhere at all. It’s not the working class’ fault that oligarchs make their Nazi supporting companies the only place that will hire you in most areas (looking at Amazon especially).
Now if you’re a middle class car salesman and you peddle swastikars to republican morons then by all means I agree. Everyone else is mostly just getting hassled for no reason. I get the sentiment but if you forget the human element you get closer to the abuser than the solution
I didn’t realize this moron actually named his son “X” until yesterday.
