A woman in Colorado has been arrested after police caught her with expIosives at a TesIa dealership, police said.
The 40-year-old suspect, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested on Monday after the Loveland Police Department launched an “extensive investigation” following a series of vandaIizations at the dealership in Loveland, Colorado.
Isn’t this exactly what negotiating with labor unions so workers have good quality of life was made to prevent?
More Americans will become terrorists, and it’s no surprise. They have nothing to loose.
At first glance, from the thumbnail… I thought it was Christine Weston Chandler.
What a twist that would have been.
Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don’t blow up or damage Tesla’s at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can’t sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can’t sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can’t sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.
Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That’s the real way to fuck em.
If you get rid of the building only though and not the cars, that’s double damage.
TBF insurers could start denying coverage if it becomes an obvious concern: and it very clearly is.
Well, some dealerships should be blown up to ensure that all of them have insurance and that insurance is expensive.
And if Tesla dealerships are significantly higher risk their insurance will go through the roof.
Tesla only does direct sales, no dealerships. Otherwise, point taken. Carry on.
Why does the title literally say “Tesla dealership”?
Because that’s what the author is used to calling a place that sells cars.
Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.
Bless her heart
It must be just me, but I can’t see who they are claiming did it.
That “reporter” should be fired for using such inflammatory language. Word play absolutely intended.
To all the pearl clutchers, it was Molotov cocktails and graffiti, not IEDs. She was vandalizing the dealership.
Oh those mischievous 40 year old kids. I say let her go with a warning.
In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both “unregistered Destructive Devices”. It’s the ATF’s bailiwick so it’s not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.
Unpopular opinion inbound: Property destruction of any kind is bad, bombs or molotovs or broken windows. It represents lost productivity and unnecessary environmental damage. You are creating more demand for the same products to be reproduced for no benefit.
Theft on the other hand…
Regarding Nazi property: if it can be turned against them, better; but if not, destruction is second-best.
The loss of productivity and environmental damage of letting Nazis persist in any fashion far outweigh any value the objects hold on their own.
The most value we can extract from that trash is the message it sends as it’s burning to the ground.
And still federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.
A potential 20 year sentence! For $5,000 in damages to luxury vehicles.
Meanwhile, the J6 terrorists are pardoned.
It was’t explosives
Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism
Nelson was immediately arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail after being charged with explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony, authorities said.
Perhaps the law lumps them together as the same thing?
It does, but saying they got caught with a bottle of lighter fluid isn’t very exciting.
Very good point. They’ve always got to find a way to make things sound more scary.
Woman?
What a fucking idiot. Possibly killing a bunch of employees who are likely just trying to get by ain’t the way to do this…
Edit: wow, some of these comments are unhinged
Yup the people working at the dealership are almost certainly just people showing up to a job. They aren’t inherently bad people and they ahpuldnt be murdered for needing to work for a living.
Especially these days, where every grocery store is doing greedflation and every layoff is a holocaust.
Judging by her photo, the right is going to say she did this because she’s trans.
I understand the desire for protest against Musk. However, explosives by themselves are dangerous and can hurt you and others.
Further, while the lower end models of Tesla cars use a safe battery chemistry, you should know that high end models of Tesla cars and cybertruck use a chemistry of battery known as NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt). Puncturing of a fully charged NMC battery cell will result in a violent chemical reaction which can also hurt you or others as seen here. Please do not use explosives in your protests. Protest without the chance of harm to you or others.
so what you’re saying is that Tesla has provided their own explosives?
Are batteries that you can poke to explode really a good idea in a country with so many wireless hole pokers?
I don’t have anything against sticking it to the man, but there are better ways to go about this.
Like what, building your own ultra fast kamakaze drone and going after a terrorist?
Regular drones would work just fine.
On an unrelated note: isn’t it funny that the guy tracking @elonsjet is on mastadon!
I ain’t saying that’s a viable alternative
But it’s probably more fun
There’s much better targets for the explosives
