Man Who Keyed Tesla in San Jose Arrested - Felony Charges
X ^

Posted on 03/19/2025 1:49:32 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Collin Rugg @CollinRugg NEW: The man who was caught on camera keying a Tesla in San Jose, California, has been arrested.

Good.

Police say the man was arrested for felony vandalism.

“Within less than 24 hours of the viral vandalism incident being reported to the San Jose Police Department, we successfully identified, located, and arrested the individual responsible for this act of felony vandalism,” said SJPD Chief Paul Joseph.

“This senseless crime and its subsequent consequences should serve as a clear reminder: no matter one's personal beliefs or frustrations, they do not justify illegal actions. I urge everyone to respect one another and, above all, to respect the law.”

Per the original video, befuddled old fool. He’ll get probation but even low consequences like that in a bunch of cases can deter others, especially when hard time for the egregious cases is added into the mix. Heaven help those who have been federally charged. Examples are going to be made of them

Arrests are meaningless in California these days.

I want follow through with a conviction and jail time.

Do these stooopid libs who own Teslas and support this vandalism realize that the next one that's keyed could be THEIRS? Or do they think their "we bought this before Elon went crazy" stickers are an insurance policy against getting keyed?

I would personally sue him for millions also just to make an example out of him!

it’s Kali so nothing will happen. Even if the owner sues, it’ll end up in a radical judges court and nothing will happen.

I think we will soon see federal felony charges for keying or otherwise vandalizing Tesla vehicles.

If federal charges are not filed, Congress will have to act and pass a Tesla protection act.

I don’t get the logic here, but then again I never understood the logic of leftists. Elon Musk volunteers his time to rid the government of waste and save us money, possibly even getting us a tax refund. And this is a bad thing? So bad that his car company must be destroyed? What in the effity eff?

It’s their Trump hatred. It’s so all-consuming that it defies any rational analysis.

Radical leftist are retarded. That’s the answer. If you’ve ever watch one of those “man in the street” interviews with random lefties, it’s painfully obvious they don’t any synaptic connections.

I’m not satisfied with just “charges.” These are frequently dismissed by leftard AG’s and DA’s.

I want charges that stick and go to court with a REAL sentence fitting the crime. Not window dressing.

“I think we will soon see federal felony charges for keying or otherwise vandalizing Tesla vehicles.”

If a federal prosecutor classifies it as domestic terrorism, federal charges could be filed.

But its the Northern District of California. The prosecutors probably secretly wish they could key a Tesla.

That’s because leftism is a mental disorder.

It’s interesting, it seems they’re bending over backwards protecting this individual. It’s a felony, and they have this guy on camera, in fact he was wearing the same attire when he was ID’d later, days after the crime.

I wonder what the motive is for hiding his name?
