Nice.

Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.

Keep it up!

Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

Oh no!

Anyway...

Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

But…

Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

Jan 6ers were pardoned, so by this logic all the car vandalisms are legal too.

Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal.

Sure, "we the people" control the government, so technically we can destroy it when we want. However, "we the people" also want a stable government that prevents the minority from ruining things for the majority.

So if you're going to rebel, you need be very careful that you're on right side, otherwise I think the rest are justified in calling you a terrorist.

Exactly!

But it’s not on fire?

It's only ok to be violent if you're a Republican. I'm not supporting this, but since Jan 6'ers were pardoned then these car vandalisms are totally legal too. I think they're equally immoral.

You think the coup attempt that ended lives is just as bad as property damage?
