    Easier targets and political relevance, if you’re a sociopath, as people who climb the proverbial ladder tend to be, that’s the best “bang for your buck” so to speak as far as looking good in law enforcement.

    You could also make this point with illegal immigrants.

    With ICE simply looking for “Anyone they can excuse grabbing”, all violent/gang-affiliated immigrants have to do is exercise basic caution, and ICE will miss them completely. If they have enemies, or witnesses in immigrant communities that could testify against them, all they have to do is leave ICE a tip against that person.

    Ok i dont know the stats, but serial killers are not as common as drug cartel and human trafficking right? Not sure which is worse or anything… but serial killing is usually only profitable to the entertainment industry.

    Like all horrible, but we dont ALSO have a lot of serial killers do we?

      Except it’s not just some guy vandalizing a car

      It’s not just one guy serial killing, drug running, or human trafficking either.

      It’s regular people who are stuck with a Tesla. They got sold in to the EV crowd, and until the last 5 years Tesla’s were pretty much the only major fully electric option do the charging network. They were lied to by Musk with promises that never came. One thing they did get is a nifty video security system, I bet the cops are loving all the video evidence. Not everyone can just sell their car at a major loss to get something different, life ain’t that easy.

      I’m gonna say it; if an Arab man set someone’s car on fire, or started attacking dealerships they’d be charged with terrorism with out a second thought. 5 years ago if a white man in a red marvel hat keyed a Tesla or set it ablaze, the same crowd keying/lighting cars today would be calling for blood. Sick of the “rules for you, none for me” bullshit.

      Destruction of property is not a protest against Tesla, its a crime against the people who own the car, a burden on taxpayers, fire fighters are risking their lives to put out those Tesla fires because “protesters” got upset at 1 dude they can’t reach and decided to take it out on the closest person they could.

      Should we start stabbing people with United Healthcare now?

        Your comparison of people who rely on United Healthcare being mistaken for their CEO is absurd.

        People can sell their Tesla’s, but Americans can seldom choose their insurance provider. Insurance is also how people stay alive, and a Tesla is simply a tool for getting from point a to point b, of which there are literally thousands of alternatives.

        Tesla’s cheapest model (the model 3) starts at over $42,000 for the bare-bones, base model. That’s an extremely expensive sedan. You can sell that used and select from a huge selection of excellent NEW cars.

        So yeah, fuck Tesla’s. Fuck their maker, and fuck their owners.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it literally the fact that serial killers and human traffickers were getting arrested and deported that had folks torching Teslas to begin with?

        You’re responding to a Nazi. Reread their comment, they’re saying all the people being illegally arrested are rapists and murderers

          No, I did not say that. But a lot of them were, and this meme seems to be saying that it would be preferable for violent criminals to get arrested than for protestors who only cause property damage. Except the protests causing property damage were literally in response to violent criminals getting arrested, so this a complete red herring.

        Okay, but what’s the evidence for him being a Nazi, other than a single hand gesture (that many Democrat leaders have made as well BTW)?

        I don’t see him invading Poland or putting people in concentration camps, literally all he is doing is cutting wasteful government spending.

          Mate, have you seen the shit he has retweeted saying he agrees? A bunch of replacement theory shit, heaps of antisemitic shit, and a while much of other racist shit.

          that many Democrat leaders have made as well

          If you watch the videos of those Democrat leaders, it’s pretty clear they’re waving to a crowd. Elon’s one was obviously a nazi salute.

          wasteful government spending

          Ah yes, wasteful stuff like vital medicine distribution and humanitarian aid, and really lowering the deficit by cutting taxes on big corporations, and giving contracts to his own company.

          Donations to AfD, a political party whose leaders have regularly violated Germany’s anti-Nazi laws. It’s really that simple.

        So we should just sit around and wait until they become confirmed serial killers and human traffickers?

          Wow. Ok. Before I go on, can I just say that your world view is extremely messed up. I’d tell you to go get it checked but I know the US healthcare system is broken.

          First of all, if they’re not confirmed, how do you know that they are serial killers and human traffickers? The colour of their skin? How many tattoos they have? What evidence or procedure, other than a visual inspection, would make you believe that they are what you think they are?

          Secondly, if they were awaiting trial, they’d be waiting in an enclosed space away from the general public as a precaution. Isn’t it meant to be the American judicial mantra that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and that everyone has a right to a fair trial?

          Thirdly, what if you’re a serial killer or human trafficker? How would you prove otherwise if you were deported immediately? Or would you become one anyway since others have already decided for you?
