More to come…
Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday announced three individuals are facing federal charges for allegedly attacking Tesla properties as protests and vandalism hit Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company across the country.
Calling the charges a “warning,” Bondi said the three individuals are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Tesla dealerships in three different states in recent weeks.
“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi said in a Thursday statement. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
The charges come amid a wave of violent demonstrations taking place across the nation in protest of Musk’s efforts to slash the federal government and budget under President Trump’s direction.
Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, on Jan. 20, threw approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon, federal prosecutors said. One vehicle was completely destroyed, and several others were damaged.
Lansky also threw a “large heavy object through the dealership window,” they said. At the time of the attack, he was armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle.
Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, 42, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado on Jan. 29 after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails, prosecutors said.
A former high-level FBI special agent said he expects political violence in the United States to continue escalating amid the nationwide destruction of Tesla vehicles and dealerships aimed at intimidating Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk.
Michael Tabman is the former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office, and he said there is no doubt that recent violent attacks faced by Tesla owners and dealerships are clear cases of domestic terrorism.
“I do fear that more violence is on its way,” Tabman told Fox News Digital. “Maybe not directly Teslas or DOGE, but just general political violence. I think it’s already here. But I think there’s more around the corner.”
Make examples of them.
Awesome! Lock up all the Communist Traitors. Fire bombing is not Peaceful Protest. 20 years behind bars should dissolve the idiotic Woke ideology.
The price of freedom is not cheap but cheapened by the mentally deranged who live with us. Fight, Fight, Fight, round up these people and give them the help they need. Instead of sex transitions, go back to frontal lobotomies.
Both are example of extremes measures to remedy the mental state of crazy people so why are the medical societies allowing this? The first step in correcting mental illness is to stop feeding into it. Second is to identify and teach the masses how to identify. Then only can a medical solution be found and attempted. We as a culture have allowed mental illness to creep into our lives and made to believe it is normal.
Are the three in custody affiliated with the evil 🫏 party?
Ten years confinement in a Federal Prison for the first vehicle and an additional 5 years for each additional vehicle plus restitution prior to any chance of parole after a minimum of 5 years confinement.
Well, this is not the first violence of the left. But now a days they will be caught/rounded up, trialed, and punished. No more just destroying anything they please with no consequences. Today they will be serving time in jail and then paying back the people robbed by their criminal actions. Morons will work for decades to pay back their debts. And it is about time.
And for the ones like that woman who was chased down in the tesla by a monster, call the police immediately and just let the moron rant, then throw them in jail for their attempted violence in chasing you down once the police arrive.
I often have a gun. It is only a 22 revolver but getting shot by it might stop these nuts the left is sending after anyone like Musk or Tesla owners. Violence is ramping up and big mouth boggs and the other liars, cheats and thieves are firing them up.
Violence must be stopped but defending yourself from these weirdos might be necessary. Chasing you down is dangerous and creates the atmosphere that can esculate so self defence is an option when you are obviously being threatened. And who can blame that woman when confronted unarmed by one of their idiots they have fired up when she sided with him to throw him off her as an attacker. Though why should she have been put in that position at all? BECAUSE an imbecile ran her down and blocked her so she was frightened of course.
These dimwit nitwits are pretty good at these tactics but at least she groveled enough that the moron backed off. Not good. but better than being hurt. But this is why these days we all need some sort of self defence weapons, training, or both. Time to end the dimwit nitwits and the hostile minions waiting to attack for them. Can we go after the ones who incite these lunatics? That would be the best way to stop them inciting their lunatic followers. And it seems like shooting someone like that guy in those circumstances would be okay too. Except no doubt we would get sued for it even though these people will start getting even more agressive very soon! Just be prepared because better them than you in the hospital or morgue!
