A man drove his car into protesters outside a Tesla dealership in Palm Beach County, Florida, but did not injure any of those who had gathered to demonstrate against billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over the weekend, according to law enforcement.

    I think it says everything that needs to be said that the left’s reaction to disputes is to protest and maybe set some cars on fire, and the right’s reaction is to (try to) kill people.

      ask yourself which is more effective. the right is currently winning. maybe we should adopt different strategies.

        Hey that is a violent thing to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. It’s only ok to be violent if you’re a white male Republican. Get back in the crowd, they’re not done running you over yet.

      Possible people responsible for setting cars on fire.

      • Protesters that got carried away.
      • Bugaloo Bois, or other right-wing militia groups, trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent and/or just stir shit up, as is part of their M.O.
      • Trump administration lackies trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent to justify police crackdowns.
      • Tesla employees committing insurance fraud whilst trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent.

      Also keep in mind it doesn’t have to be just one. With multiple events of cars on fire, all of these (and more) could be true at the same time.

      Peaceful protest does not equal attempted murder. Both sidex are not the same. How am I in the minority?
