Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the Department of Justice will seek a 20-year prison sentence for a man accused of throwing a firebomb at a Tesla dealership.

Bondi said Monday that Cooper Jo Frederick, who is accused of attacking a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, on March 7, would face federal charges.

    It’s weird how upset the hard right gets over property damage. They got very upset over their made-up “fact” that “whole cities were burnt to the ground” by BLM/antifa.

    But it’s okay to plan and scheme for, then carry out, a terrorist event at the Capitol to overturn a free and fair election, and possibly lynch the VP and any other politicians that they didn’t like and could get their grubby little hands on. I do notice that property damage that is part of the government seems to get an exception, too.

    While I agree that arson is wrong and should be illegal, it wasn’t a federal crime last time I checked. This should be handled by the state attorney general in the state where it happened.

      They never did and still don’t.

      They care about imprisoning or murdering those who don’t share their ideology.

      If it was a Ford dealership, can’t think of an immediate reason to firebomb it. This is a political act and its getting a political response. Anarchism springing up in the wake of a fascist seizure of power is just normal cause and effect.

        I mean, Henry Ford was also a Nazi. But he’s also been dead for some time now, and the current leadership at Ford isn’t actively engaged in a violent overthrow of the government.

          Sure. But as far as I can tell, Jim Farley is your standard issue empty suit (and… TIL, cousin to Chris Farley, RIP). If there’s a reason to get mad at the modern Ford Exec Team - beyond the boilerplate corporate waste, fraud, corruption, and abuse common to American big business - I’m not aware of it.

          Certainly, Farley isn’t leading a crusade to tear down the fucking Library of Congress out of pure egotism and spite.

    I can’t wait for AG Pam Bondi to start going after and arresting all the thousands of 200 year old people collecting social security.

    Pam Bondi is 60 years old. She gets weekly baby blood transfusions, and sleeps in a sensory deprivation pod.

    (Only one of these things is verifiably true. The other two are just guesses… but probably.)
