    what a sad, pathetic loser.

    Willing to kill people because he “Stands with” a car brand.

    Hope he gets put away for a very long time.

    The report states that Dutil got out of the vehicle and then walked into the dealership. An employee told deputies that Dutil told workers there that he “stands with Tesla” and then “walked out.”

    lol

    A statement Dutil made to deputies was redacted from the arrest report.

    That seems pretty unusual for a sherrif’s office.

      These are the kinds of people that support billionaires whilst living paycheck to paycheck. Aka Republican voters.

    Future headline:

      His Nissan SUV identifies as a Tesla…

      /s

      But this guy is a complete idiot, he went in and told employees he “stands with Tesla” and then left.

      So it’s going to be really hard to argue he was there for any other reason than surpress protestors first amendment rights.

      It’s Florida tho, so who knows what will happen

        he went in and told employees he “stands with Tesla” and then left.

        “Oh fantastic sir! Can we interest you in a new Cybertruck to replace your Nissan?”

        “Ew, gross. no! What I mean by ‘I stand with you’ is that ‘your CEO is hurting people I want hurt’. No way am I driving an EV.”

    Violence is an intrinsic part of fascism. It is the inevitable consequence of “might makes right”. Be prepared for a lot more violence. Probably on both sides.

      Brown shirts are unofficially part of the administration. This is going to get a lot worse if we don’t figure out how to de-escalate

        if we don’t figure out how to de-escalate

        That’s the crux of the issue. The only way to deescalate against a “might makes right” approach is to match violence with violence. Rolling over and “taking the high road” will just end up with the violent people continuing to be violent because they didn’t have any consequences the last time. “De-escalating” can’t be done by giving the bully your lunch money, because they’ll just be back again tomorrow.

        You at least need to make yourself an unattractive target, so they’re likely to go bother someone else instead. Even if you don’t totally stop the behavior, you at least need to send a strong “if you fuck with me specifically you will have problems” signal. Even if you don’t stop the bully, you at least ensure that you’re not the target.

        That’s a large part of why the Black Panthers got started. People realized that peaceful unarmed protests would get violently busted by the cops. In contrast, peaceful heavily armed protests would have cops politely watching from across the street.

        Were they obstructing the sidewalk? I could see Florida Lawyer making a case from that.

          They probably had a permit from the police so the answer is most likely no. Can’t really argue that they’re “obstructing” the sidewalk when you gave them permission to be there. That would hold up on Fox News but not in a courtroom.

          To traffic? A normal pedestrian is “obstructing” the sidewalk to a car. Vehicles have no right of way there!
