Tesla Attacks Branded 'Domestic Terrorism' As DOJ Pushes For Harsh Sentences For Damaging Teslas

Five Tesla cars were set alight in Nevada Tuesday amid growing backlash against Tesla and the work company boss Elon Musk is doing to gut the federal government. The attacks sparked a pretty strong response from U.S. lawmakers Wednesday, with the United States Department of Justice branding the incidents "domestic terrorism" and calling for harsh penalties for anyone caught damaging Tesla property.

Tesla cars in the wild have been hit with everything from eggs to dog poop. The attacks led president Donald Trump to claim that individuals caught targeting Tesla dealers and cars would be tried as domestic terrorists, and now his comments have been echoed by the DOJ and attorney general Pamela Bondi.

Bondi called the attacks on Tesla property "nothing short of domestic terrorism" and said such incidents should carry a minimum "five-year mandatory" sentences for anybody charged with damaging Tesla property, reports ABC News.

Tesla dealerships across America are facing attacks and protests as a result of Musk's role leading the made up Department of Government Efficiency for his best pal, president Donald Trump. The attacks include everything from stickers being stuck on charging stations to cars being set on fire, which led attorney general Bondi to issue a statement condemning the attacks:

"The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences. We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes."

The constant rioting in 2020 was domestic violence.

Can you say “Quantanamo”?

[Red Badger]

How long before a District Judge in Podunk, No-wheresville, declare that these are NOT Acts of Domestic Terrorism, but Freedom of Political Speech?..................

If Pam Bondi had been in charge in 2020, the Summer of Love would have been the short lived Summer of Domestic Terrorist Prosecutions.

[Jeff Chandler]

I meant domestic terrorism.

Ok, where are the raids and RICO cases against the groups publishing lists of Tesla businesses and owners with Molotov Cocktail Icons on them.
This is being planned and coordinated.

Time for Kash and Bondi to get results, and not just get outrage interviewed on Fox.

We do not want the idiot showing up and burning one car... we need a RICO case, somewhere outside DC or New York against the terrorist organizers. We want civil seizure of their assets.

The Deep Staters on Imgur eagerly share pictures and ‘stories’ about defacing or burning Teslas, and they have a meme encouraging people to do more. The meme is a domino-effect stack of pillars - the first is Tesla and as that falls, it tips over Musk and when that falls, it tips over Trump and the last is the collapse of the Republican party.

Terrorists should not burn the lives of those they want to leave the administration.

“with the United States Department of Justice branding the incidents “domestic terrorism” and calling for harsh penalties for anyone caught damaging Tesla property.”

Well go catch them instead of running your mouth about what should happen to someone caught. Blondi seems all talk.

the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that— (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States;

Same actors used in the last round of "social unrest" in the name of "social justice", sponsored by "Social Media A.I algorythms" and MSM "news"

I suppose we are looking at another four years of social unrest with no help from L.E. or D.O.J.

Obviously.

Guantanamo is reserved for foreigners. There is, to my knowledge, no legal mechanism for putting American citizens there. The whole point of Guantanamo is that it is not on U.S. soil and therefore Constitutional guarantees to detainees do not apply.

(Of course that can be reversed any time by a Federal judge in Hawaii) /s

Really? Seriously?
Haven't see anything from her yet, unless it was somehow related to Israel.

Drudgereport is leading the charge to destroy Tesla to stop Musk - here are the triumphant links currently at the top of Drudge, posted under a photo of a burning Tesla. The implication is the Deep STate will come after you if you own a Tesla.

TESLA ON DEATH WATCH...
Booted from Auto Show...
'Industry exorcising Musk'...
THE WORLD'S MOST HATED CAR...
STOCK DOWN BUT NOT OUT...
Crash victims' families ask DOT not to water down oversight...
Hackers release names and addresses of every owner...
Vehicle attacks surge across nation...
EVs set ablaze. Bullets and Molotov cocktails aimed at showrooms...

Throw them in jail and throw away the key.

[ozarker]

violent attacks for political reasons, isn’t that the definition of terrorism.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I doubt that the district jackasses in robes are going to buy this. They don’t want to hurt the little gurlymen and gurlygirls feelings.

Rick Wilson needs to be arrested!
