Great Moments in Progressivism: Lefty in SUV Terrorizes Seattle Woman for Driving an EV
Hot Air ^ | March 21, 2025 | Ed Morrissey

Oh, the irony. And in progressive Seattle, no less!

Thanks to the quick-thinking decision of a driver in the Pacific Northwest, the man who covered his face while terrorizing this woman for driving a Tesla should be rather easy to find. And perhaps he can answer why he feels justified in lecturing others abut vehicle choices when he drives a car that makes Gaia cry and Greta Thunberg snarl:

...

A mother says she was harassed and cut off by another driver for driving a Tesla, an incident she described as terrifying and unprovoked. The confrontation, which was caught on video, occurred while she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment in Lynnwood Wednesday morning.

Leigh, who has driven a Tesla for the past two years, said she first noticed the aggressive driver honking behind her as she approached a red light.

"Thankfully, I was by myself," Leigh said. "When I made a left turn, they followed me and cut around me."

According to Leigh, the situation escalated when a white SUV cut her off and stopped in the middle of the road. The driver then got out, approached her vehicle, and began berating her.

Leigh also took a moment to note the progressive hypocrisy on display:

Leigh says she bought the car about two years ago. Not only was it convenient for her family, but they chose to drive Teslas because they'd like to protect the environment.

"Being in Seattle, climate’s important, our footprint’s important. This seemed like the right move for our very busy family," Leigh said. "We drive a lot, and it saves us on gas now it feels like a huge risk, it’s scary."

I bet it does, at least in deep-blue areas of the country. Will this incident of road-rage terrorism get investigated by police? This doesn't appear to cross over into federal jurisdiction, so Leigh will have to report this to local police and prosecutors in Seattle. Given their absolutely supine positioning when it comes to progressive terrorists in public demonstrations over the last few years, Leigh probably shouldn't expect too much assistance, even with the license plate clearly visible in the video.

Seriously -- why did the driver even bother with the mask and camo? If he didn't think there was video, what would be the point? And if the perp did think the woman was getting video of the incident, didn't he stop to think about the fact that his car will identify him? Either the man is an idiot or he knows that police in the Seattle area won't bother to investigate a progressive for terrorizing the populace. Or both.

Or, who knows? Maybe Seattle-area law enforcement will surprise us. The publicity around this incident will certainly embarrass them if there isn't some effort to provide a resolution to Leigh. More rationally, even progressive administrations have to ensure that their citizenry can drive on the roads without getting stopped by road-ragers on a mission to punish Wrongthink in traffic.

If Leigh doesn't get some satisfaction soon, then she should just release the unedited video with the license plate information unblurred. If police don't want to pay attention to road terrorists, then others can name and shame the perp. Especially for driving an SUV, of all choices! Doesn't he know that Greta has The Sadz? What kind of militant progressive is he, anyway?

Finally, I know a number of people who are reconsidering their previous declinination to purchase Teslas or other EVs in light of these attacks. They seem much more open to the idea as a way of rallying support for Elon Musk and other Tesla owners under attack. For those reconsidering Teslas, I'd bet the deals right now could be pretty sweet. We take car trips every year, so that choice is still not very practical for us, and I love my Subaru Ascent too much to switch anyway. But I am seriously considering adding a dash-cam these days, in case the insanity gets to central Texas or I drive into insane areas like these.

Regardless .... it is time to charge and prosecute these acts (caught on film evidence) with whatever federal charges possible. And, display the whole process in public.

People respond to and support strength when performing to uphold law and order, and maintaining safety and peace within society/culture.

It is good that Maine gave way. It is bad that DOE is still giving money. The Democrats did, however get a lesson about What happens to school systems when they get free federal money. Its not free and always comes with strings, nay, chains. I suppose the Democrat thoughts about this are that they need to get control of it again and maybe shoehorn it into the Constitution so that a non Party member can’t undo anything.

Always = the left killing their own = leftist Stalin killed Trotsky = leftist Hitler killed Ernst Röhm, the leader of the SA (Sturmabteilung), and other high-ranking SA leaders.

These demkkk people are sometimes wearing masks to hide their faces when doing these crimes, like this guy did.
Special Operations Command was right to notify their people that they need to be ready for these attacks.

It’s hard to keep with leftist requirements for sainthood. They are having an Inquisition right now, I’m waiting for the Iron Maiden to show up.

Guess these activists want people to go back to gas powered “climate destroying” cars.

Oh, but the environment and “climate change.”

What’s a good, hard-core lefty to do?

I have some suggestions...

I remember when SUV-hate was all the rage. Rush would point out “news” stories where the writer would make it sound like it was the SUV vehicle that caused this or that problem.

The elite of the Democrat party are the true Nazis today.
1. Anti Semitic, check.
2. Anti free speech and pro propaganda, check.
3. Anti free markets the government must control it, check.
4. Militaristic in achieving political goals not defense, by rifle and bayonet, check.
5. Violent, very violent, check. This coordinated campaign of violence against Musk is a perfect copy of Hitler’s brownshirts in his rise to power. The Brownshirts were in effect the military wing of the Nazi party against the civilians. They were essential in Hitlers rise to power as they suppressed political dissent but as a separate entity gave Hitler plausible deniability.

National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The NAZI party was a socialist party and not right wing conservative. It was simply a different version of Marxism.
Never forget that NAZI stands for National Socialist German Workers’ Party

The real irony is George Soros once a Jew, I have no idea what he is today besides evil. He in WWII cooperated with the NAZIS against his own Jewish countrymen. Soros is a hard left socialist if not just a plain damn Marxist.
