A little over a week ago, a Tesla service center in Las Vegas was torched. It was one episode in a string of Left-wing domestic terrorism targeting Tesla charging stations, dealers, and owners.
Now a suspect has been arrested.

More from Las Vegas Review-Journal:
A man police said set multiple Tesla vehicles on fire using Molotov cocktails has been arrested, according to court and jail records.
Paul Hyon Kim, 36, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday on a total of 15 counts, including suspicion of arson, destroying or injure real or personal property of another, value $5,000 or greater, possessing/disposing of a fire device, all felonies, and misdemeanor discharging a firearm into a vehicle.
Video footage provided by the Metropolitan Police Department showed that around 2:45 a.m. March 18, a person dressed in black damaged at least five Teslas in the parking lot of a Tesla service center at 6260 Badura Ave., near Jones Boulevard and the 215 Beltway.
According to police, the person responsible for the attack used multiple incendiary devices to set the Teslas on fire, and one of the devices was found unexploded in a car.
The day after the fiery attack, Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed harsh punishment for those who engaged in such behavior. Looks like Kim is going to learn his lesson the hard way.
Long overdue.

Have Soros cough up their legal fees, damages, and the courts fees.
Some Lefty org is working on bailing him out as we speak.

Wonder how many days into his sentence he will realize how played he was.
Day 1
Oh well.
He's an adult who did this on his own.

The whole book.
I think this Tesla thing will go away pretty soon after a few heavy prison sentences

Leftoids aren't brave revolutionaries willing to sacrifice for the cause, they only commit street violence when they believe that libtard governments will give them minimal punishment https://t.co/dfRWYPiHa0
Oh, a majority of the Left-wing terrorism goes away the second the foot soldiers start doing hard time behind bars.
They want to pretend they're brave like the Civil Rights activists of the 1960s, but they don't want to face the consequences of their criminal actions.
Throw the book at him

It would be fascinating to see if there are bigger fish, wouldn't it?

This writer asked Grok what sort of prison time he's facing, and this is what Grok said:
For 15 counts including felony arson, property destruction ($5,000+), possessing a fire device, and a misdemeanor firearm discharge, the total prison time could range from 20 to 81 years, depending on whether sentences are concurrent or consecutive, the jurisdiction, and plea negotiations. In practice, a sentence of 20 to 40 years is plausible for a first-time offender with no fatalities, while consecutive maximums could exceed 80 years in a severe case.
Hoo boy.
Hope it was worth it.
Editor's Note: Leftist domestic terrorists are firebombing Tesla dealerships and harassing owners across the country. They must face justice.
