Teslas torched with Molotov cocktails and shot with gun
A row of Tesla vehicles erupted in flames at a Las Vegas service center early Tuesday in what authorities suspect was an arson attack. The dramatic blaze, captured on video, showed the high-end electric cars engulfed in fire, with one vehicle exploding into a massive fireball—seemingly triggered by its lithium battery, according to footage obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Las Vegas police confirmed they are investigating the fire as an act of arson. Photos from the scene revealed that someone had painted the word “RESIST” in large red letters across the Tesla Collision Center in Enterprise, just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip. “Communications received information that an individual had set several vehicles on fire in the parking lot and caused damage to the property,” police stated in an email. During a media briefing on Tuesday morning, Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said that at least five Tesla vehicles were torched, and three rounds were fired into the cars. A 911 caller reported hearing gunshots and witnessing a person dressed in black igniting the vehicles. Additionally, investigators discovered a non-ignited Molotov cocktail at the scene. “I’d like to point out this was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility,” Koren stated, adding that police will be increasing their presence at Tesla locations throughout Las Vegas. The incident has drawn strong condemnation from law enforcement officials. “Violent acts like this are unacceptable,” said FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans, who heads the agency’s Las Vegas office. He warned that those considering similar actions should understand the severity of the crime. “To those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want to let you know it’s a federal crime. We will come after you. We will find you.” The attack in Las Vegas comes amid a wave of vandalism targeting Tesla facilities and vehicles. Just 22 hours earlier and about 300 miles away in San Diego, sheriff’s deputies discovered multiple Tesla cars defaced with swastikas at a local dealership. Officials said that several dealership windows were also spray-painted with swastikas and profanity. Meanwhile, in another suspected arson case, two Cybertrucks were damaged by fire at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri. Authorities there, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), are investigating. “Similar incidents have occurred in several states and the FBI and ATF are coordinating with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to gather information,” FBI Kansas City said in a statement Tuesday. While investigators work to determine whether the attacks are connected, the incidents highlight a growing trend of hostility toward Tesla. The company’s CEO, Elon Musk, has been a polarizing figure in recent years, though it remains unclear whether he was the intended target of these actions.

BREAKING NEWS Thailand Cuts Visa-Free Stay to 30 Days to Combat Abuse
Well I think it is stupid. I am semi retiring this year and was definitely planning on heading to Thailand for my 16th trip. A nice long 89 day vacation was my plan starting in October. 60 days on arrival, then a 30 day extension. Easy peasy which is why I first went to thailand so many years ago. Visa exempt on arrival worked great for me as it was very difficult to plan my trips in advance and get visas in advance given the nature of my contract jobs which sometime start and stop unexpectedly -

Pick-up Truck Transporting Metal Gates on Expressway Sparks Safety Concerns
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A pick-up truck carrying oversized metal gates on an expressway has drawn criticism after being flagged as both illegal and highly dangerous to other road users. The incident was highlighted by the Official Bang Phli–Suksawat Expressway Traffic Information Facebook page, which posted a photo of the overloaded vehicle along with a warning that such transport violates expressway regulations and poses a serious risk. The truck in question was seen carrying tall, protruding metal gates without proper securing measures while driving along the Kanchanaphisek Expressway. Traffic management officials intervened and ordered the driver to exit the expressway, citing a breach of traffic regulations. “This type of load is not allowed on expressways,” the post stated. “Overloaded and unsecured cargo creates a major hazard for other motorists and significantly increases the risk of accidents.” Following the social media post, many users condemned the driver’s recklessness, stressing that such unsafe practices endanger not only the driver but also everyone on the road. Several commenters suggested that a larger, more suitable transport vehicle should have been used instead. Authorities continue to urge drivers to adhere to expressway regulations and ensure that cargo is properly secured to prevent accidents and maintain road safety. -- 2025-03-19 -

People in the public sector are only there because they arent good enough to get a better private sector job. The bigger government gets, the worse the hires get -
