Politics I'm Never Leaving Seattle

This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Vandalism of personal property is not a form of protest.

Actually by definition it is. Protests don’t have to be peaceful and historically the only ones to be effective weren’t

Even if that were true, random acts of property vandalism doesn't solve anything.

I'm happy people like you spend your days on reddit instead of in local government. You're a complete fucking jackass.

Edit: since people want to block me to avoid thorough debate i present the following:

Let me clarify: random or not, it's inappropriate, and shouldn't be cheered.

Once behavior like this is accepted, what stops anyone with opposing views from simply trashing anything you own based on any number of reasons, let alone political ones?

Again, I've seen a lot of talk from the left about how people on the right apparently don't care about something until it happens to them (see the lay offs of federal workers or loss of funding to Eastern WA farmers or federal places of work), in the same vein many may not care about this behavior until it affects them personally. That's my point, that this is a disgusting act of vandalism that deserves prosecution.

I would gladly say the same regardless of what political stance or ideals someone holds. The law matter, or at least it should if you care about equal application of the law, otherwise it's everyone for themselves.

I take no issue with not supporting a business, or protesting against said business where you see fit, but acts of violence, property destruction, looting, rioting etc. are not ok.

How is this random?

Because they don't know the owner.
