Maybe one of his handlers told him someone was killed or he's conflating people killed in Tesla accidents and fires previously.
and the only job of Law Enforcement is to protect it - at the cost of lives and at taxpayer expense.
It's probably worth a small reminder that Ashli Babbitt was not the only one who died in connection to the Jan 6 riots, just the one who likely earned it the most and deserves the least sympathy. There were also 2 heart attack deaths and an overdose death among Trump's mob and little to no chance of medical attention because of the rioting. Further, police officer Brian Sicknick died of a stroke a couple hours after, almost certainly directly related to actions of the rioters. More indirectly, 4 police officers committed suicide in relation to the riot. Not to delve into this deeply, but given how suicide works, it's unlikely that Jan 6 would have been the only major factor at hand, but that doesn't do much to diminish the fact that chances are decent that they wouldn't have committed suicide without it being added to the pile.
AFAIK that didn't include setting buildings on fire, but I don't know much about that event ..
True enough, and no doubt I was being excessively kind or cautious. Without any partisanship, extrapolation or even basic in-your-face fact, Trump's statement was characteristically false, stupid and misleading. But then, what else to expect?
Oh please they can go a lot further than that. A judge with a non-WASP name? 'Accidentally' have them rounded up by ICE.
Starting with Alito?
Tesla is not symbolic.
I also think of the people who might lose their jobs. Do the arsonists compensate the employees who no longer have a job to go to because their workplace literally burned down? I get that Teslas are indeed a symbol of fascism at this point, and I have no love for the company, but it's one thing to vandalize or burn Teslas at a dealership or deface the premises with grafitti, but literally burning it down? Same basic objection I have to shaming and review-bombing the workplaces of people who do terrible things (be them employees or bosses). I seem to remember a story about a dentist's office (?) where the business, and thus employees, suffered because there were protests outside or whatever, because the boss had done or said something terrible. Probably feels gratifying in the moment, but it hurts not just the person targetted but also everyone else who works there.
They forced themselves on a ship and destroyed $2million worth of goods by today's value.
I wonder how long it will be before we hear this:
It's not about the damage. It's about putting random people in danger. Setting building on fire is over the line. That's death penalty / life in prison territory for me.
)." Jonathan Ladd, an associate professor at Georgetown University's public policy school, wrote that "Trump is constitutionally required to take care that U.S. laws be faithfully executed. On what legal basis can he treat the people of Maine differently depending on if their governor apologizes to him? None."" The legal points are above my pay grade, but from the cheap seats, it does seem like there is selectivity in who is getting hit with various sanctions.
