I don't agree with not holding the vandals themselves accountable for their actions. No matter what a person's opinion of Musk is I don't believe it gives them the right to harm someone else's property or absolve their responsibility for their own actions—just as I didn't agree with the destruction of the US Capitol building on Jan 6, 2021. I get peoples' frustration but this behavior is so misguided.

I recently read a father's social media post pleading with people for advice on how to save his college age daughter. She was caught up in one of the recent protests of a Tesla dealership and did some major damage to a Cybertruck. Sentry Mode was on in the truck so the owner had video of the entire incident. She was facing a serious felony charge as a result. Her entire life will be altered from that point forward if she's convicted. Here in the US if you're a convicted felon you can never travel outside the borders, vote, or hold certain jobs. The best advice that he got was to hire the best attorney he could afford to try to get the charge reduced to a misdemeanor.

I've seen several variations of those stickers on Teslas around town. It's their right to put those on their cars but I'd never do it myself. I think it's sad we live in a world so divided that we have to advertise our beliefs on our bumpers to lessen our odds of having our property damaged. I think back to previous decades and how crazy something like that would sound twenty years ago.

Are the populace in England as divided as we are in the US? We've seen a lot on the American news about anti-immigration sentiment there but I haven't talked to anyone directly about it.
