Daniel Clarke-Pounder, a 24-year-old progressive activist, was arrested in South Carolina this week for setting a lot of Tesla chargers on fire with Molotov cocktails. He scrawled “F*** Trump” and “Long live the Ukraine” on the pavement.
The incident appeared to copy an arson weeks earlier in Loveland, Colorado, which saw 42-year-old Justin Grace Nelson, a man who also goes by the name Lucy and lives with his mother, throw Molotov cocktails at cars in a Tesla dealership. Nelson graffitied the dealership, spray-painting “NAZI” and “F*** MU.” The arresting officers were alarmed by the destructive potential of the explosive devices he used.
