It's Friday, the 28th of March. Welcome to the PDB Afternoon Bulletin. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Let's get briefed. We'll start things off with an arrest in a Molotov cocktail attack on a Tesla dealership. Now, federal authorities say it was no random act of vandalism. They've won today's PDB Statement of the Obvious Award.
Later in the show, Iran has responded to President Trump's outreach, but while they didn't slam the door on negotiations, they're not ready to sit down at the table either. But first, today's afternoon spotlight. A politically charged firebombing attack on a Tesla dealership in Las Vegas has led to a federal investigation and now an arrest.
Authorities say that 36-year-old Paul Hyun Kim has been taken into custody, accused of carrying out a Molotov cocktail attack that torched multiple Teslas at a local collision center last week. According to Las Vegas police, Kim arrived at the Tesla site late at night on March 18 in a black Hyundai Elantra. dressed in all black and wearing gloves. There's a clue in there somewhere.
He allegedly approached the building, damaged security cameras with a rifle, another clue I think, and then proceeded to set at least five vehicles on fire. Yeah, the evidence does appear to be mounting. The word resist was spray-painted across the front doors of the facility. This guy is basically a walking evidence trail.
Investigators also discovered an unlit Molotov cocktail inside one of the vehicles. That's a detail that suggests the situation could have been even worse. Police say Kim tried to cover his tracks, but, well, clearly, it didn't work.
His DNA matched samples collected at the scene, and the search of his apartment and two vehicles turned up a small arsenal, multiple firearms, including rifles, a shotgun, a handgun, and a stockpile of ammunition and gun parts. According to investigators, Kim's social media accounts included posts supporting communist causes and expressing solidarity with pro-Palestinian movements.
That political context has led some to argue that these attacks amount to acts of terrorism. Some? Can we please meet the gormless morons who don't think that this would be considered domestic terrorism? Kim is facing a long list of state charges, including arson, property destruction, and possession of a fire device. But that may just be the beginning.
FBI officials say that federal charges are also coming. At a press conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans had strong words for those inspired to commit violence in the name of political causes. He said, quote, There's nothing courageous or noble about firebombing private property and terrorizing your local community.
The self-righteous mob that's cheering you on today will leave you high and dry at the end of the day, and you alone will be held responsible, end quote. Hmm. Well, that's a good try as far as statements go, but I don't think that the self-righteous mob cares. They're too busy being self-righteous.
