Lifted from the comments, a bedlamite drama in three parts:

In which, madam talks about her rights. “They shouldn’t even have those cars.”

Part 2:

“He’s a piece of work,” she says.

Part 3:

“Do you get off by, like, picking up people?” asks the woman who gets off on shooting random people’s cars. “Some people,” she adds, “probably think I’m a hero.” Oh, and madam only attempted to flee because she “had to go to the bathroom.”

Update, via Mr Muldoon in the comments:

A longer video, complete with home security footage of the shooting.

Readers will, I suspect, register the indignant lady’s questionable firearms proficiency.

We have, of course, poked at this particular madness before:

Setting aside for a moment the weird random malice, there’s the more mundane oversight. A Tesla has eight external cameras which record any untoward activity while alerting the owner. The odds of being identified, in high definition, and consequently prosecuted, are fairly high. Yet the people doing the keying and daubing tell us, loudly and quite often, that they’re the smart ones. Our moral and intellectual betters.

It’s not just the conceit that vandalising some random person’s car is a thing one should do as a good person, as an act of righteousness. Bewildering as that is. It’s the idea of doing that to a make of car that’s famed for its ability to record anything that approaches. Which suggests a level of emotional dysregulation, of total impulse control failure, that’s quite hard to relate to.

As so often, one feels obliged to say, “You know this isn’t how well-adjusted adults generally behave, right?”

And that’s before we get to the whole finger-digging-faeces-out-of-your-arse-in-broad-daylight-and-smearing-it-on-some-random-stranger’s-car thing. Lest we forget that glorious feat of radicalism.

By all means consider this an open thread.
