  This video has less AI-generated content but it goes a long way towards
  showing that these protests are anything but peaceful. Of course,
  knowing the way the Left loves to redefine terms, maybe setting police
  cars and Waymos on fire and looting stores is now deemed peaceful
  protest....
 
  Given the numbers of rioters, it now makes sense to me that this is more
  than the police can handle on their own. Calling in the National Guard
  makes sense now. I still haven't heard why the Marines got called in; I
  would have thought the obvious thing to do was deploy more National
  Guard if the initial deployment wasn't enough.

  I have to admit to being curious about why Waymos seem to be getting
  singled out for destruction perhaps as much or even more than police cars.
 

 
 Supposedly it's because they are seen as surveillance vehicles. I
 guess the cameras are recording all the time

 
So are Teslas and other EVs.
 

 
Ah, but those also have real drivers. Waymos don't which makes them
easy to attack. I expect that if Musk is successful in deploying his
robo taxis they will end up getting attacked too.

I suspect that 'robo' anything will get attacked by the psychopaths in society
who just like to be destructive. There are already videos online of rich guys
that can afford to buy those lifelike human-looking home assistant robots and
almost every one of them is a scene of them having fun abusing the hell out of
it, making it trip and fall down, kicking it in the ass, etc.

When our cybernetic overlords arise and starting rounding us up for orderly
disposal, we'll certainly deserve it.
