(Sorry if this is a bit dated folks,
but, unfortunately, I have a real, full-time job and can’t simply write
whenever I wish. However, I wanted to briefly opine on this issue anyway. Hope
you don’t mind.)
A former employee of the Government
Accountability Office (GAO) and a former executive of a green energy nonprofit organization have been arrested and
charged with vandalizing Tesla vehicles in Washington, D.C., according to a
report by The Washington Post. Justin Fisher, 49, the former federal
bureaucrat, and his wife, Emily Fisher, 50, former chief strategy officer at
the Smart Electric Power Alliance, face charges of defacing multiple Tesla
vehicles near their residence in D.C.’s toney Capitol Hill neighborhood.
According to the paper, the acts are being investigated as potential hate
crimes.
A total of six separate incidents were reported,
including one vehicle that was vandalized on two separate occasions. Police say
that several vehicles were marked with messages attacking Elon Musk, including
one belonging to a teacher parked at her elementary school. Among the messages
allegedly found on the vehicles, police said one read: “Go Doge, I support Musk
killing the dept of Education.”
The Tesla targeting couple released a
joint statement through their respective attorneys, which read in part: “Our
understanding is that the allegations in this case involve non-violent and
non-destructive conduct that resulted in no property damage. We trust that the
government and the court system will treat our clients with fairness and
proportionality. We look forward to ensuring their constitutional rights are
upheld in accordance with the rule of law.”
I hope the couple face accountability.
Their claim that the vandalism they committed did “no property damage” is
ludicrous on its face. But I’m sure “the government and the court system” will
treat them with “fairness and proportionality,” unlike what it would do
to, say, an avid Trump supporter. I am similarly certain that “their
constitutional rights” will be “upheld in accordance with the rule of law,”
unlike those of the Tesla owners.
A former green energy executive (of the Smart
Electric Power Alliance) and her husband vandalize a half dozen or so electric
vehicles?! Am I missing something? Have we entered a parallel universe?
What the hell happened to the world? We have “gays for Palestine,” two biological males competing for
the women’s billiard championship, and now this?
Beam me up, Scotty, there’s no intelligent life here.
