McIntire, a 19-year-old student at Boston’s University of Massachusetts, appeared in federal court Friday and has been charged with one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and one count of malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce.
What thee heck is a destructive device? A can of petrol? This is ludicrous, double and triple charging people.
How much is her bail
Feed birds next to Tesla dealerships.
You know what? I know this was a joke but this is a fantastic idea. A way to protest that even the old and weak can take part in. What are you going to do, outlaw feeding birds? Good luck with that.
Now see these people I wouldn’t mind the Tankies promoting the hell out of like they do that Luigi guy.
Just getting started
If the Federal government takes over prosecution the big charge is going to be that Destructive Device charge which looks to be up to 10 years. It seems unlikely the sentence imposed would be even close to the max on everything, media loves to report maximums as if they are what gets handed down, but that’s just media being dramatic.
I’d really love media articles to actually explain sentencing in detail on articles where they just throw around numbers without explaining them.
Oh, great! Now Donald will be like, “we’ll need to look in to BU. We believe they are harboring terrorist.”
Don’t get captured
Its better to not burn the cars since they can be claimed on insurance. Let them sit and rot. Burn the dealership though, then they can’t sell or service anything until the building is functional again. That’s a much harder economic punch to Musk and bigger statement in general about Musk and his policies.
Insurance premiums will be adjusted. Plus people will avoid buying Teslas if there are too many attacks on them.
That being said, I think there are smarter ways to fight for democracy.
Lesson learned, I guess. If she had only set fire to the Capitol in support of an insurrection in support of the far right, she’d be up for a pardon.
The keyword here is “Alleged”. As far as anyone knows, She was just falsely-flagged.
We honor the sacrifices of our soldiers o7
Impossible. She was at my house at the time of said incident.
I can vouch for this
I set fire to that dealership.
Another witness filmed a video of the fire and posted it on X, the affidavit said. The witness claimed they saw McIntire fleeing the scene.
And the rats? What do they get? Honestly, disgusting that someone would help the police find her. Like what even are your morals. Fucking pathetic.
Plenty of fiction media describes how you should treat collaborators
America does have a greater than zero percentage of spineless bootlickers, more interested in upvotes and likes than their own freedom, unfortunately.
Snitches get stitches.
him* possibly them*
-The article says the suspects full name is “Owen McIntire” being the only hint to suspect gender.
I kinda both like and dislike that something as arbitrary as long hair and no beard can cause this kind of debate. In the '80s, the assumption probably would’ve just been that they’re a fan of hair metal lol.
I like it because it means that it’s a lot easier to bend gender norms (and be seen as bending gender norms) than I thought and it also just proves how full of shit people are when they claim they “can tell” and that at least half of their perception of the world is dictated by their culture.
I dislike it for the same reasons though. Because it means that this world is still a lot more puritanical and prone to pearl clutching than I thought. It means that boys with long hair who don’t like sports are going to be getting beaten up and bullied for being ‘gay’ or whatever. It means that sightly butch women won’t be able to use public bathrooms without judgmental, psychotic people wanting to make that woman’s genitals their own business. It means that I’m living in a world with people who still think in terms of long hair = girl, who haven’t ever expanded their minds or considered that their own cultural norms don’t apply to everyone in the slightest.
Wow. You about summed up my experience but in the late 90’s, early 00’s. Good work!
“Leave the multi billion dollar company alone unsheaths plastic katana”
“Listen, I’m legally required to tell you to cease your ingress ma’am. Please don’t make me tell you again. I will raise my voice if i have to!”
They really are this dumb.
They think this will discourage targeted destruction of an oligarch? Decades for worthless cars?
If you get decades for that- make sure to get the rest of the lot. Bonus points for for a factory.
I mean, arson itself is usually punished very harshly because it can easily get out of control and kill people (and most of those laws predate modern fire safety standards). It might be a good idea to look for alternative ways to vandalise Tesla’s that don’t have harsh punishments associated with them. Or if you do, try not to get caught.
How easily have the arson against Tesla killed people?
I think it’s not easy because no one has died
I’m talking about why arson in general has harsher penalties compared to other forms of property crime, I’m not talking about specific instances.
It might be a good idea to look for alternative ways to vandalise Tesla’s that don’t have harsh punishments associated with them.
One popular method of destroying cybertrucks is simply treating them like a normal car. Perhaps Owen should have vandalized their neighbor’s car by giving it a good rinse? That tends to brick these dumpsters
If you’re going to go part way, may as well go full way. Shooting season is about to start.
Tough talk from a keyboard warrior. I expect the next act of civil disobedience to be tagged “this one is for Lemmy fam” or you’re full of it.
Nothing but false bravado from russian subversive operators as far as I see.
Multiple people have tried to shoot trump. Can you acknowledge this reality?
So, you’re saying only incompetent people espouse violence on social media? I’d agree with that except the person I’m criticizing is not american so I cannot in good conscience presume incompetence.
My country isn’t turned to shit like America. I just choose not to go, but sooner or later the rest of the world may have to do something if their own citizens won’t.
Why would you ask someone to do this? I like this place. I’d rather not see that happen.
Human beings are being pushed too far right now in America. I would have a healthier fear of it than you seem to.
Conversely to shut them up. It’s all impotent frustration that isn’t going to pan out to shit. Real gradeschoolers in the playground vibes.
I wouldn’t call your fear healthy until it is about something happening. Right now you’re empowering their BS tbh so some self-reflection might be in order on your part.
It’s bigger grade schooler on the playground vibes that you feel the need to chime in insulting strangers.
Careful now or I’ll raise my virtual fist in the air and you’ll be quaking in your boots for the rest of the day.
