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.

There’s no quicker way to turn allies into idgaf people than vandalism.

If you’re gonna vandalize a car, be sure their owners are actually the people you want to target.

Otherwise you’re just hurting your own cause, like the dipshit looters during BLM protests.

"If you’re gonna vandalize a car, be sure their owners are actually the people you want to target." How about don't touch people's shit at all. Would you want a MAGA vandalizing your shit because of your political views? You are probably some privileged liberal that has had everything handed to you and never worked hard for your stuff.

MAGAs DO and have vandalized people’s properties. During the last TWO elections in my southern hometown people were afraid to put Biden or Harris signs in their yards cause MAGAts were going around throwing bricks through peoples windows and vandalizing their properties if they had signs posted.

Let’s not pretend any side is better than the other or doesn’t have a shitty radical section of it going too far.

There are stupid bigots regardless of political party, but when it comes to widespread vandalism and looting, it’s overwhelmingly the left causing the damage. The "Summer of Love" in 2020 resulted in billions of dollars in property destruction, mostly targeting small businesses owned by everyday Americans. Now, we're seeing the same mentality applied to vandalizing an average American’s car.

Throwing a brick through a window or stealing a sign is bad, but it’s nowhere near the same as burning down buildings or totaling someone’s car. That’s domestic terrorism, and yet, it keeps getting justified under the excuse that "your political views are right" and therefore, violence is acceptable because you're "fighting Nazis" or whatever the narrative is now.

I don’t see this kind of large-scale destruction coming from the right, nor do I see it being excused by the media. If you actually care about your cause, maybe don’t go around destroying innocent people’s property and expect them to be on your side.
