A 70-year-old man has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault after allegedly striking an Elon Musk supproter with his vehicle during an anti-Tesla rally outside a dealership in Meridian, Idaho, according to local law enforcement.
ABC News reports that on Saturday, approximately 30 people gathered outside a Tesla dealership in Meridian, Idaho, to protest against the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, and his role in the Trump administration’s federal job cuts. The protest was overshadowed by a counter-protest of about 200 individuals. According to the Meridian Police Department, as a 49-year-old counter-protester arrived at the scene, Christopher Talbot, 70, of Meridian, allegedly made an obscene gesture toward him before striking him with his car.

If this keeps trending, someone is going to get dead.
The article also had this tidbit:
"The footage, obtained by local news station KTBS, shows the 5-foot-2, 449-pound Cox backing up his ATV and then ramming head-on into the side of Carstaffin’s red Tesla, causing considerable damage to the front driver-side door."
Probably venting because he was bankrupting the local Golden Corral and got kicked out.

Try him for attempted murder and felony assault with a motor vehicle - hope about some Federal charges for attempted murder / terrorism?

Lots of practice jockeying the handicap-cart down the soda and chips aisle at Walmart.

"...30 protestors and 200 counterprotesters..." Hahahaha...like in the old battleship days of yore, the 5-foot-2, 449-pound Leftist they arrested probably gave the Moonbats the advantage in throw weight!

LOL! Unfortunately, my solar inverters produce only 18kW of continuous AC power.
But my Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD's battery produces 168 kW of DC power. Maybe that's enough. LOL

Yep. He probably has his rolling papers in the glove compartment.

"The footage... shows the 5-foot-2, 449-pound Cox backing up his ATV and then ramming head-on into the side of Carstaffin’s red Tesla..."That was a separate incident, but equally newsworthy:

These 60s hippie burnouts can still be revived to drop back into their original form.

Heh, when you said that, I had this vision of three or four EV’s hooked up to a single chair...headlights on, so we could watch them dim as the lever is pulled!

It’s not enough to go after the freelance fanatics and foot soldiers. There need to be high profile arrests of the leaders. The governor of Minnesota for example.

You can always tell when it’s not a Moose Limb.
In those cases the VEHICLE strikes the person/people.
In this story it was a “70 Year Old Trump Hater.” So not Muzzie.
