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.
This sounds more like chaos than terrorism to me. (edit, added:) Regardless of the car you’re in, what would you do if you found yourself surrounded by people who want to hurt the vehicle you’re driving?
Unless it’s a Cybertruck with a MAGA sticker on it, then please just assume it’s someone like you who just hasn’t found a way to get rid of their car and is probably now terrified to just go to the store.
We’ve got to temper our anger, because fury isn’t going to help anyone
He wasn’t “surrounded” by anyone until he intentionally choose to drive in to the crowd.
Love the exonerative tense here. He just ‘found himself’ surrounded by protestors out of the blue, not that his vehicle aimed directly at and drove through the crowd.
i skipped over the part where he deliberately drove onto the sidewalk. you’re right
Quit your bullshit. If this guy wasn’t a terrorist, he would’ve stopped and backed up before getting anywhere near the protestors.
yeah, you’re right. i must have scanned over this part, but i saw it again when you replied. he drove up onto the sidewalk.
How come you had no problem editing your original comment to add to your point, but when your entire argument gets shut down you decide to leave it up unedited?
posterity. (edited to add:) people learn and grow. i think it’s probably best to show that to others. i hope you’re not as offended by this edit.
I think the point of my comment was missed.
I have no problem with the edit, because I was referring to editing a comment to add things to the bottom, not to change the comment completely.
All one would need to do is to add a comment to the bottom of the comment saying, “I have since learned that I was wrong” or something. But you didn’t.
However, you did do that when it came to adding to your point. So clearly you’re aware of the possibility and chose to leave the disinformation up.
This is actually good debate etiquette in my opinion. I have no issue going and having the conversation however it happens, but as soon as you take my argument apart I’m gonna leave it as is so that others can see the learning opportunity that I had
I think you misunderstood…
I meant that they had no problem adding an edit to the end when it’s adding to their point, but when their entire point is shot down, they don’t add a comment indicating that everything you just read is wrong.
That is not good ettiquite, as anyone reading the conversation in passing might not make it to the part of the thread where the person realizes they were wrong and admits it. They just see the original, wrong, unedited comment.
Actually yeah, I see your point and that’s something I’ve done before. Just something like
Edit: Got this one wrong
