BREAKING: DOJ charges 3 in connection with domestic terrorism attacks targeting Tesla
The Department of Justice has announced that it has filed charges against three suspects for “domestic terrorism” attacks targeting Tesla.
According to a press release, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, “The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended. Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
One defendant “was arrested after throwing approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon,” the release said. “Another was arrested in Loveland, Colorado after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails,” it adds, later saying “a third defendant wrote profane messages against President Trump around Tesla charging stations before lighting the charging stations on fire with Molotov cocktails” in South Carolina.
Each is facing up to 20 years in prison and a minimum of five years. The DOJ did not name the defendants that have been charged or provide the specifics of their charges in the press release.
It appears that the defendant from Salem, Oregon may be Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, who was arrested and charged after allegedly shooting up a Tesla dealership in Salem as well as throwing Molotov cocktails that “struck a dealership building and several vehicles.”
