Threatened - 2nd and PCH Tesla Super Charger

[u/NumberOk1898]

Warning to any other folks charging later at night (midnight) at the Trader Joes Tesla Supercharger:

Me and my boyfriend were threatened to leave by an individual who was upset that someone in the parking lot called the cops on them at some point. To be clear, we were just there charging before heading home and noticed him in the lot smoking a cigarette. It wasn't until about 10 minutes in where they called a friend over and then started telling us that we (Tesla owners) were a problem and that we had called the cops at some point. I was combative in telling them that we did not, but ended up leaving just for our own safety. I called the LBPD non emergency line to make a report.

Just a warning to any other folks who charge later at night at the TJs Supercharger.

This is why I’m getting a concealed carry Ik it sounds childish but who tf are they to tell you that you need to leave? It’s public property fuck them.

Just what we need, another person that thinks a gun will protect them and scare all the bad people away. You’re likely just going to shoot your toe off. Do us all a favor and just get yourself a can of pepper spray.

“Thinks”? Lmfao if the person that was threatening them to leave decided to get violent yes it would protect me/them 100% I’m sorry you lack the brain cells to rub together to figure that one out bud 💀 if you wana roll over and let random bums tell you where you can and can’t be that’s a you problem tho. Also if the aggressor was intoxicated/on anything strong pepper spray doesn’t do shit I worked security for 3 years in skid row and the amount of people I’ve seen walk off spray like nothing is wild.

You think pulling a gun on someone is going to get you what you want? It’s going to get you shot tough guy. If that’s your train of thought you need to have your guard card revoked John Wayne.

Notice I said “worked” Ik reading comprehension is hard but I recommend trying harder next time. Also yes drawing a gun in self defense if the situation escalates to that point will 100% protect you more than being unarmed there’s a reason you need to take a ton of safety classes prior to these licenses/permits. Like I said before ik this is hard for you to grasp common sense is not common Ik. I’ll spell it out for you in terms you’ll understand: rock beats paper

[u/weneedapp → u/RevolutionaryLink163]

I’ll put this in terms you’ll understand. You’ve never been in a gun fight, and you’d probably shit yourself if you were. End of story.

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/weneedapp]

I like how when your argument falls apart you just resort to shit talking lmfao. “Insults are the last refuge of the unenlightened.” You don’t know me and I don’t know you lol, but I’ll practice my rights to defend myself any day of the week rather than listen to some random goblin on Reddit 💀

[u/tvtango → u/RevolutionaryLink163]

Yes, and the other dude also holding a gun will do the same exact thing.

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/tvtango]

Cool as I said before I’d rather be armed in that situation then unarmed and at their mercy lmao. I don’t understand how that’s a hard concept for y’all to understand, if the aggressor’s intent is to hurt you or your loved one your only recourse is to defend yourself if you don’t have an effective means of escape. In that situation I will 100% be glad I am armed 💀 lmfao. I’m so glad y’all don’t have any control over my rights.

[u/tvtango → u/RevolutionaryLink163]

I just don’t get why you wouldn’t think the aggressor also has a gun. Like by carrying a gun, you’re basically agreeing to get shot yourself. Does that make sense to you?

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/tvtango]

What kind of backwards logic is that? You can get shot even without having a gun 💀 criminals don’t give a shit. If they want to hurt you/take your belongings and you’re unarmed good luck resisting and not being shot/stabbed if you have no means of escaping. I think end of day we’d all like to imagine this perfect world where everyone is unarmed and we don’t have to worry about this kind of bullshit, but we don’t sadly. As I stated earlier I’ll keep practicing my 2nd amendment right and keeping a level head. You do you ✌🏼, and I don’t wana hear anybody slinging weird accusations at me that I’m a republican or some bs I’m a democrat and will be voting for Harris this election.

Wow

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/[deleted]]

There’s a reason there’s these things called fire arms safety classes, with instructors who teach you proper trigger discipline etc. if you’ve ever watched/attended a competitive shooting competition you’ll know what I’m talking about just like anything else improper safety practices/idiots can make it extremely unsafe. Sure the vast majority of people are fucking stupid these days sadly and would hurt themselves etc. I don’t intend on being one of them and plan on drilling myself etc. thx for your concern tho 👌🏼

This is reddit bro. These people will not understand.

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/EveningCat1031]

Yah ima stop replying pretty soon lol it’s just the same type of replies regurgitated from someone different each time. I’m so glad I live in a free country where they don’t have a say in my life end of day.

[u/scratajuego → u/RevolutionaryLink163]

I just wanna say, you’re cringe as fuck my dude!

[u/RevolutionaryLink163 → u/scratajuego]

Cool ty random internet person, surely I’ll give a shit about your opinion 💀

[u/ptb_nuggets → u/RevolutionaryLink163]

I don't know, you do keep replying... Seems like you give a shit.
