    What a fucking idiot. Possibly killing a bunch of employees who are likely just trying to get by ain’t the way to do this…

    Edit: wow, some of these comments are unhinged

      It was Molotovs not pipe bombs lol. Pretty clear she intended to burn it at night when no one was there

      Yup the people working at the dealership are almost certainly just people showing up to a job. They aren’t inherently bad people and they ahpuldnt be murdered for needing to work for a living.

        Strange comment - there was no attempted murder here.

          Not so fun fact but when your weapon of choice is a combustable weapon you have almost no control as to whether it harms people because fires are hard to control once started.

          This person rigged multiple cars with incendiary devices. They had no control as to who would get harmed if those charges went off.

            This is false. The Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front did dozens of arsons and never harmed a single person.

              And that is because they put a lot of work into making sure no one was around when they did that and they didn’t hit targets in urban centers as I recall.

              This woman could easily have hurt someone as throwing molotovs isn’t as targeted

                One of the ELF’s most famous attacks was on an SUV dealership where they filled oil pans full of gasoline and put them under the SUVs. Not very different from this case.
