They are SUPER cars, and every knows supers are impervious to fire (see super man, super girl etc) So no need to get excited. Those ultra rich people are just being dramatic, just like when you spit in their soup. Just ignore them.

Unless they’re Martian supercars and then it’s a hate crime

I hope no one was hurt and that it’s kind of a ‘slashing-tires-of-huge-SUVs’ sort of operation.

If anyone was hurt there’s no way any news outlet would let such a juicy headline go past in favor of just reporting on the cars.

If it bleeds, it leads.

They are super cars not huge SUVs.

… Correct?

‘sort of operation’ I wrote, I’m aware that supercars aren’t SUVs but they are yet another egregious, offensive wealth display like huge SUVs are. So ya know, eat the rich and all that jazz.

You love to see it.

The people who were almost hit look like Arabs, based on their clothing. Everyone here is cheering the attack because of the cars parked outside but people were almost hit by molotovs. You’re cool with the attack if it turns out to be racially motivated? Or because they were Muslim?

Indian wedding, likely racist attack.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering whether the firebombers were right-wing, and racial, or left-wing, after wealthy people.
I will say one thing, that either way, the property damage probably is covered by insurance, so it gets paid for by slightly driving up British insurance premiums.

To be fair the motive could also be non-political like some kind of personal vendetta

Or someone from whatever part of the indian subcontinent they don’t like. Or as another person said, vendetta

I think people are cheering because they dislike the rich. I don’t think the religion matters.

Not enough firebombs.

Probably a rival car rental agency. It’s a cutthroat business.

Do you know something that’s not stated in the article and want to share it with us?

The title alone is sufficient to know that this is in fact based.
