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.

    Imagine being so much of a simp for Elon fucking musk, that you drive your car into a crowd of people. This is for the loser who pays people play video games for him and kills poor people.

      I bet this guy wanted to get to work and if no one was injured went at a crawl to push them out of the way, Musk is likely barely inconvenienced by any of this and would still fire this guy for being late.

        It happened on the weekend, and he drove onto the sidewalk. (Both in the article) Yes it was at a slow speed, but he intentionally drove his car into a crowd of people to try to force them to disperse. He clearly doesn’t believe in free speech or freedom of assembly and used a deadly weapon to force innocent people to do as he wanted.

            You’re one of the 50% of Americans that are functionally illiterate aren’t you? It was the weekend, he drove on the sidewalk. Even if you didn’t read the article (clearly) the person you are responding to said as much in the comment you responded to. He was very clearly not on his way to work, quit defending terrorists and terrorism.

    He drove at low speed, so he was clearly aiming more for intimidation than injury. Sounds kind of like terrorism, but he’s right wing, so the only charge is assault.

        Do they even have to? All trump will have to say is that the guy is a great patriot and will invite him to next SOTU.

      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

        Quit your bullshit. If this guy wasn’t a terrorist, he would’ve stopped and backed up before getting anywhere near the protestors.

          The protest on Saturday was interrupted when Andrew Dutil drove his vehicle onto the sidewalk full of protesters at a slow speed, forcing people to scramble out of the way to avoid the being hit, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

          Dutil was arrested and faces an assault charge, according to court records. An attorney who could speak on Dutil’s behalf wasn’t immediately listed in court records.

          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.

    A peaceful group exercising their freedom of speech and assembly were met with an act of terror. Let’s see how the freedumb lovers respond!
