Man arrested in Molotov cocktail attack at Tesla shop in Las Vegas will also face federal charges


A Las Vegas man has been charged in the Molotov cocktail attack that torched several Teslas at a dealership last week.


Paul Hyon Kim, 36, was arrested Wednesday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, after at least five cars were allegedly set on fire on March 18 at a local Tesla Collision Center.

Kim has been charged with multiple crimes ranging from destruction of property, arson and possessing a fire device, according to jail records.

He will also face federal charges, Spencer Evans, the FBI agent-in-charge of the bureau's Las Vegas office, told reporters at a Thursday news briefing.


"There's nothing courageous or noble about firebombing private property and terrorizing your local community," Evans said. "The self-righteous mob that's cheering you on today to commit acts of violence on their behalf will leave you high and dry and forget about you tomorrow. And at the end of the day, you and you alone will be held responsible and face the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence."

Police say Kim arrived near the location in a black Hyundai Elantra before walking over to the Tesla building. He allegedly concealed his face, wore gloves and black clothing.

The word "resist" was spray-painted on the Tesla center’s front doors. An unlit Molotov cocktail was found in one of the cars, police said.

Authorities said Kim's social media activity showed potential links to communist groups and Palestinian causes. His DNA matched DNA samples collected at the scene of the attack, authorities said. ...
====================================

So they have the guy's DNA that he left at the scene. He is toast. :rofl2:

Trump only pardons RW domestic terrorists, not LW ones.
 
PAM BONDI: After she said that about Elon, she said, 'well, I didn't mean violence,' but however, your words have consequences. And what happened after she said that about Elon Musk? She's a Texan in her own home state after she said that this morning, three explosive deviceswere found in Austin, Texas. So she needs to unequivocally denounce the violence. She must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country, to the American shareholders of Tesla, because she is promoting violence. And then you showed the clip of what she said about Senator Cruz. I believe she probably will be censured by Congress for saying that. People don't learn. She's using her public persona, her public platform to increase her followers, to increase her significance. And she is threatening lives, safety. When she did this at Tesla, people's lives are in danger. This is America. We're in a free country, and she's yet encouraging this violence in our country. Think of all the lives that could have been jeopardized in Texas just today by her words and what she's done, but she didn't stop with that. She continued on with Senator Cruz. She has to apologize immediately and denounce the violence.
