In the words of Donald Trump, they’re not sending their best.
It seems that liberals have finally found a new way to cope with President Trump’s re-election, after spending months shaving their heads and screaming on TikTok. Recently, there’s been a string of vandalism and terrorism targeted at Tesla, which was of course founded by billionaire and close Trump advisor Elon Musk.
Now, I don’t have to point out the irony of a bunch of left-wing activists destroying electric cars. But recently, dealerships, charging stations and the vehicles themselves have come under attack from unhinged liberals upset at the cuts the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE, for short) have made to the government.
But like I said, they’re clearly not sending their best out to do their dirty work, and one man in South Carolina not only found himself behind bars, but also on fire, while trying to vandalize some Tesla charging stations.
According to WCBD, North Charleston police officers responded to a report of suspected arson at the charging stations located near an outlet mall. And when they got there, witnesses told them that a man in a gray jacket with a black mask had spray painted “Fuck Trump, long live Ukraine” next to the chargers before throwing Molotov cocktails made from beer bottles at them and leaving the scene.
But apparently, the guy wasn’t exactly an experienced arsonist. According to the police report:
“Witnesses advised that the suspect had accidentally caught their own back on fire while throwing the devices.”
Rookie mistake.
Well thanks to surveillance footage, police and ATF agents were able to identify the suspected vandal as 24-year old Daniel Clarke-Pounder of James Island, South Carolina, who’s now facing federal charges for the stupid stunt.
Clarke-Pounder was charged with Arson of Property in Interstate Commerce, and is facing a maximum of 20 years in prison. His bond was set at $10,000 cash during a hearing yesterday, and the court ordered the man be placed on GPS monitoring, undergo drug and alcohol testing and a mental health evaluation, take substance abuse classes, and take his medications as prescribed.
In addressing the case, Acting U.S. Attorney Brook B. Andrews promised that Clarke-Pounder would be held accountable for his
“While we will defend the public’s right to peaceful protest, we will not hesitate to act when protest crosses the line into violence and mayhem. These kinds of attacks have no place in our community. We are grateful for the prompt response of our first responders and law enforcement.”
We must remain united in our commitment to safety and respect for all, regardless of political differences.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently addressed the string of violence aimed at Tesla, warning anyone thinking about targeting the cars or dealerships that they would face harsh consequences:
“If you’re going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out because we’re coming after you. And if you’re funding this, we’re coming after you. We’re going to find out who you are.”

Luckily, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be hard to find. Just look for the idiots with Ukraine patches on their clothes and burn marks on their backs.
