One could also imagine a huge rotating, sun-orbiting ring with alternating openings that blinks a out message to astronomical observers, perhaps in some form of Morse code or binary.

>1. They dislike Tesla in general because it's controlled by an anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer.

This sort of casual slander reveals more about your viewpoint than it does about the protestors, or Elon.

Peaceful protesting is generally legally protected in developed Western countries. Rioting, burglary, and assault are not, and police are legally and morally justified in using force to arrest the perpetrators.

Causation goes both ways. Intelligent, educated, and well-paid Hacker News posters often don't understand the cloud of chaos, crime, poor decision-making, and deflected blame that hovers over the lives of many poor people. Section 8 landlords understand that while such people may comprise a minority of their tenants (or not), it only takes one to ruin a building and the surrounding neighborhood.

On a certain level this is common knowledge, reflected in the real estate markets of all big American cities. Dirt-cheap housing stock can be found in large swaths of Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, et cetera. It's cheap because even the most desperate families would rather live anywhere else, around anyone else.
