A Colorado police chief blasted the release of a suspect on bond who allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at vehicles and spray-painted “Nazi cars” at a Tesla dealership — after yet another arson incident occurred at the same business.
Just after midnight Friday, Loveland police officers responded to an arson call at the local Tesla dealership, where they found an incendiary device between two cars on the property had caught fire and put “several occupants inside Tesla at risk,” according to the police department.
The scene smelled strongly of gasoline, and several vehicles were damaged by what appeared to be thrown rocks, officers said.
“It’s incredibly challenging to keep our citizens safe from copycat behavior when there are no repercussions to lawlessness,” Loveland Police Chief Tim Doran said, according to a press release.
Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, who formerly identified as Justin Thomas Nelson, was arrested last month in connection to four incidents of vandalism and explosive device use at the Tesla dealership.
She was booked into jail with a $100,000 cash bond and released the next day, according to Chris Padgett, the police department’s information officer.
“I couldn’t be more disappointed with a criminal justice system that would release an individual on a PR bond who placed incendiary devices at a Loveland business,” Doran added.
“This decision is not just troubling for our community but reflects a broader problem faced nationwide,” he said.
The latest arson incident on Friday did not immediately appear to be directly connected to Nelson’s release, according to officers.
Loveland’s criminal investigation team is gathering evidence from the incident, along with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The Tesla dealership had been vandalized and explosive devices had been found on the scene three separate times starting in January before officers arrested Nelson

Put morons in charge and get moronic results ... what a surprise.

Tranny
Well, at least these thugs are getting “ripped” by these liberal city Police Chiefs.
🙃
How about we start seeing arrests?
Maybe this is a coordinated attack, across the country, and someone can face RICO charges?
Our Judicial System has become one of our country’s worst enemies.
“The scene smelled strongly of gasoline...”
How ironic that the leftist greeniac marxist has to use fossil fuels to torch EVs. Why didn’t he use eco-friendly kindling and firewood?

Evidently in Colorado it’s okay to vandalize “legitimate” targets like anything related to Musk and Trump.
Molotov cocktails are a Federal Crime. Just like owning a suppressor without a license.
Communists not morons.
I remember Colorado use to be fairly conservative, I use to have friends who lived there in the 1970s to 1980s, still have a few now but sadly it seems the locusts from California moved in and destroyed it.
It’s a good thing I’m not rich like Elon musk, a contender for the richest men in the world at any given moment. Guys like this guy fire bomber would wind up getting whacked in carjackings, accidental electrocution at home, unexplained car wrecks, you name it. Whatever the retired SAS and Delta guys could dream up. I’ll just have to satisfy myself and hope that he decides to get revenge and entertain me. But he’s a little autistic, so I don’t think he really even cares.
I think he long is too busy looking ahead to worry about getting revenge on some pipsqueak in his rearview mirror. He would probably laugh at the very idea.
“Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, who formerly identified as Justin Thomas Nelson, was arrested last month in connection to four incidents of vandalism and explosive device use at the Tesla dealership. ”
Maybe he’s mad because a Tesla car doesn’t have a tranny.
The FBI needs to start looking for 'lone wolves' among the sexual weirdo community - like they looked for lone wolves among conservatives - for years. It's time FBI - do your job...
it went downhill when pot was legalized there ...

Arrest every Soros DA for accepting foreign donations. Because it is more than one, include conspiracy charges.
So, the judge reduced it from 100k bail to a release on his own recognizance (ie. nothing)? Cop is right. There are no repercussions. A few months probation sometime later won’t deter any of these people.
Some judge needs their ass sued. If these dumb pro-terrorist bass tard want to spray paint and burn some “nazi cars”, why the hell aren’t they burning and spray painting Volkswagens? Hmmmmmm? Lyin’ fascist hypocrites.
