hell, even outside a protest if you kill anyone with a car and arent drunk or texting while it happened, people will say what a horrible accident it was but unless the victim's family makes a stink you dont even get charged for manslaughter.
The republican party is literally the party of violence, greed, , cowardous, lawlessness, disgrace and everything that is evil about the United States. Anyone still voting for these vile traitors is worse than them.
I’ve studied a great deal about World War II & the lead up to that.
I’m seeing a lot of this ganging up against the protests as equivalent to the brownshirts of the Nazi party. In this country for vandalism, there is a charge in a court of Law, maybe a light sentence & compensation for damages.
Guy is an idiot. It was Singapore, and the American in question was Michael Fay. And it was of course a lot more complicated than literally anything Fox News could convey in a segment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Michael_Fay
What about that guy with a butt gut terrorizing peaceful protesters with an AR-15 - should he get a caning? What about the people beating cops and damaging the capitol? Surely they deserve a caning as well?
My my my....isn't this rich. Just 6 months ago MAGA couldn't have cared less what happened to a Telsa...remember when they were saying that it was 'woke' to own one?!?
I thought that the people at Tesla dealerships were tourists who were involved in a "day of love." That's what I learned on January 6, 2021. No I don't condone vandalism or violence, and I hope the perpetrators are caught & prosecuted. BUT, I will not be lectured by the J6 enabling crowd. Never.
If Dems are silent on Tesla violence, it's probably because they've got more important thing to be focusing on ... like, I dunno, maybe the trillions and trillions of dollars wiped from the economy, mass unemployment, measles outbreaks ...
FACT: The current Nazi Speaker of the House, and every other MAGA Nazi Republican, and every pro-fascist propagandist at Fox News had nothing to say, nothing at all to say about Elon Musk giving an enthusiastic Heil Hitler salute.
What is there to say? If they do the criming, the do the timing. But apparently it is not a crime in their mind to rob 70 million people off of their Social security that people into their entire lives. But keying Teslas...crime of the century.
They could go full Taliban and let victims of crime or their families handle the machine guns used to execute offenders in front of shouting crowds of men in sports stadiums. I mean, as long as the law has no meaning anymore . . . .
They are insane... Have any Republicans spoken out against the illegal deportations? Women dying due to lack of healthcare? Kids having their school lunches taken away? They're all such cretins...
It's good to see faux news bring a little more diversity to their panels... white sorority girl and a white cosplay cowboy. It's a nice change from the usual white guy in a suit
Most of the people in Thailand are Buddhists and they find greed and hatred causes of suffering and the illusion of self is what is keeping Fox News clowns from true freedom. Also that was Singapore, not Thailand. Thailand banned corporal punishment, but culture is not their strong suit, clearly.
The stand-out part for me was when the guy in the 'I've got a tiny dick' hat turned to the blond and asked 'How bout you, lil darling, you enjoy a good caning from your macho masculine man before church ?'
And the fox host joined in with 'Or your nipples clamped hard until they bleed, bitch ?'
I liked it where those guys were attacking the Capitol and were beating and terrorizing police officers, leading to several deaths, and we took care of that through the Justice Dept. and they all got appropriate sentences for their crimes…except Trump then pardoned them all. What a clown 🤡
I remember the story well. It involved seven boys from an elite Singaporean school, and they vandalized 67 vehicles.
One of the students was Michael Fay, an American, who was sentenced on March 3, 1994, to four months in jail, a fine of S$3,500, and six strokes of the cane.
Yeah that’s ridiculous. However, we should be boycotting, not engaging in the same debase behavior that characterizes the radical right. Property destruction is still just that.
That sheriff is is located not far from where I live. He's had a reputation for being a real c********* for years He's just a hateful prick with a badge
It's all about punishment for those that they disapprove of for whatever reason. For merely existing, for looking different, for pricking their dead consciences...anything at all. Punish it. Flouting any nod to due process, the more barbaric, the better.
“The disparagement of empathy is the flip side, I believe, of a deliberate effort to set up a permission structure to dehumanize others, and to narrow the definition of who should be included in a democratic state, or in a Christian community,”
I was married to a Singaporean woman at the time. What he doesn't mention is that many Americans (excepting Bill Clinton) were okay with that delinquent getting caned.
I do remember that. And I remember being against it but not feeling real sorry for him. Since there wasn’t much of a chance he was innocent and it was probably my first media exposure to rich white privilege meeting consequences, even if a bit much.
1. "They have nothing to say". Probably because no on asked them. It's not fair to say someone has nothing to say when you didn't even ask them about it.
2. "Cars are too expensive". That's Trump's fault because of his tariffs and the Republican's fault for destroying the middle class.
Pretty soon all the dealerships will be closed and the remaining Teslas on the road will have Toyota, Hyundai, Honda or Kia logos. It will be easier to find a Yugo.
That was what I immediately thought of too! I was like "it couldn't really be that simple and racist, could it?" but of course it could. Because yeah, that was a culture-war big deal at the time! Because it was an American kid and because "caning" seemed so backward and exotic.
Remember, "The Simpsons" parodied it when Bart caused an international incident with Australia and was sentenced to be "booted". Which is the big test of 1990s cultural penetration!
I forgot the specifics of this lol. Such a big deal at the time. For some reason I thought they got the kid for littering or something, but I guess that's just a stereotypical "minor offense with draconian punishment" thing and I'm just being lazy and quasi-racist too. Ah well.
oh I meant this supposed "Thailand" thing. I found nothing. But as is speculated elsewhere, this is probably vestigial culture-war memory from that one incident in Singapore decades ago with the American kid.
Why don't we follow countries like the Maldives, where they use caning for individuals caught having extramarital sex? These idiots would clam up in a heatbeat.
Ok, cowboy. Let say we agree with that the January 6 "protesters" who trashed a federal building were not terrorists. But then, neither are Tesla's protesters trashing private property.
When I was in college, someone keyed my entire car and punctured my tires. I didn’t know for over 35 years who did it until this past year. She’s now a Chief of Staff for a Republican State Representative. Checks.
It’s the sheriff of Butler County, Ohio. Who’s got a white Yosemite Sam mustache and wears a cowboy hat for no legitimate reason except that he thinks that’s what sheriffs are supposed to look like.
Not surprised these ppl are more concerned w/ speaking up about prop damage. By the way, Dems don't need to address b/c it's a police matter, Dems fine if ppl are arrested for actual crimes. What IS striking is that these toadies think this is worse than detaining/imprisoning ppl w/ no due process.
Explain to me how one commits "violence"....on a fucking CAR!!!!
Fox is a pathetic safe place for the redcoats and nazi scum in the Republican party that need to be told how to think. Freedom hating fascist bootlicking scum.
If he likes an eye for an eye justice I suppose that rascal is happy Elon is getting hit in the pocket book same as he dished out to the federal workers. A good caning for the billionaires is in order based on his logic.
These rich folks go all over the world, see different laws, are able to exploit human beings, and abuse them, and they come back to the United States and wish they could do the same.
If defacing a Tesla is considered violence, it follows that destroying the economy and destroying people's livelihoods is a much greater level of violence. They should be careful establishing a rhetoric that indicts them.

Fine religious humans right there! I Bet they those fine humans even go to worship a fake diety!
Chattel slavery, lynching, burning people alive, cannibalism, all methods of torture...
That's all they're good for: conceiving ways to be evil incarnate...
...all the while claiming to be close to God.
Just deplorable.

Ok, the owner of Tesla should quit his violence against the US government
And owners of individual Teslas should have their cars scrapped in atonement
https://travelnoire.com/bali-bans-menstruating-tourists
Now, let's all denounce the lack of due process. ...
Btw, is there a count of all the property damage done to Teslas?

they’ve made legal arguments that some parts of Fox News are entertainment and opinion, not news.
You are either news or you are not news. You can’t have it both ways.
Fuck fox, and fuck the Republican Party.
FTR:
I’m registered unaffiliated.
They should be called "Fox Noise" instead.
And the fox host joined in with 'Or your nipples clamped hard until they bleed, bitch ?'
Another Republican lie.
rich white kid in singapore was caned decades ago for vandalism.
but for magats - all asians look alike & are from same country.
“That never happened. I lived in Thailand, and the legal justice system doesn't allow caning.
Another Republican lie”

Silent on economic destruction

Who was it that did those inquisitions and witch burnings again?
The good guys, right?
2. "Cars are too expensive". That's Trump's fault because of his tariffs and the Republican's fault for destroying the middle class.
Bonus points elsewhere.
Waiting for their response. ⏰️⏳️

Attacking police and trying to overthrow the government is ok, and President Trump was right to set them free"
MAGA now:
"Scratching a Tesla deserves a caning!"
Fox is a pathetic safe place for the redcoats and nazi scum in the Republican party that need to be told how to think. Freedom hating fascist bootlicking scum.
How about the electric chair for people that destroy lives in our government by violating the RICO act?
There are so many crimes happening where they're saying to "look over there!"
that'll show em.
OMFG. Who gives a shit?
Land isn't people.
Cars aren't people.
Dems and Libs and immigrants are people too. Just like you.
I wish we could get just a tiny bit of consistency from these folks.
We had to have the 8th amendment because of psychos like this admin.
