But #Jan6 was a peaceful protest?
#Trump’s Attorney General #PamBondi on Tuesday labeled a recent spate of attacks on #Tesla dealerships across the country as acts of “#DomesticTerrorism” directed at #ElonMusk, as Trump allies have pressured the #DOJ to take aggressive action.

“The swarm of violent attacks on #Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism,” #PamBondi wrote…. “We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate & fund these crimes.”
There is no federal #DomesticTerrorism #law, so those charged in the attacks would be charged under other federal statutes; Bondi…said that if convicted,…those accused could face sentences of ≧5yrs in prison.
#PamBondi’s remarks echoed #Trump’s labeling of the vandalism as terrorism. On Tues, he baselessly suggested in a FauxNews interview that the vandalism was paid for “by people very highly political on the left.”
Congressional #Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have pressured Bondi to call such attacks #DomesticTerrorism —after successfully resisting efforts by Democrats in 2022 to pass legislation to counter the rise in activity by #WhiteSupremacists & other #FarRight groups.
#PamBondi supported #Trump’s mass #pardons for thousands of his supporters who violently ransacked the US Capitol, including some who assaulted police officers. The #FBI described those involved in the planning & perpetration of that attack as “domestic violent extremists,” whom they had previously identified in threat assessments.
[hundreds of #Jan6 insurgents were convicted of crimes, the #ProudBoys & #OathKeepers were convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy among other crimes.]
@Nonilex Hmm Trump sure is going on a lot about vandalism being acts of terrorism... Does this mean Trump is planning to commit an act of terrorism soon? History would suggest this is likely.
They need to work on their understanding of the English language and the meaning of words like terrorism.
There's neither intent to terrorise anyone nor is terror being induced by the vandalism. It's an understandable, if definitely illegal, expression of anger and rage at what the CEO of Tesla is doing to our government and our country with zero empathy for any of the careers and lives he is destroying.
@Nonilex After all, the fossil fuels lobby apparently was right. There is an increased fire risk for electric cars.
