    No… but if going to burn these vehicles why not reclaim and sell them instead?

    All of you “smart” people are making the same argument that the owners of these vehicles would have to choose to sell them. Did they choose to have them set on fire? No. So we can sell the vehicles instead of setting them on fire and use the money to help those in need.

    Wow. It’s so sad this needs to be spelled out of you people, but it’s to be expected at this point.

      There is no legal mechanism in place to “reclaim” these vehicles and force the owner to sell and redistribute to the poor, but I think you’d find widespread support here for something like that.

      So instead they get torched, to send a message. I suspect it’ll get worse in the near future and I wouldn’t recommend buying one today to anyone who values their personal safety.

          Right, arson is generally illegal but when we start talking about “crimes” we can also bring up “morality” and “ethics” and it becomes a much more productive discussion.

            You people are so far gone it’s sad.

            Really puts things into perspective how smart the average individual is these days.

              The United States is so far gone it’s sad.

              I agree public education is abysmal.
