'F*** this car up!' Thugs climb on Tesla's hood amid Chicago street takeover, repeatedly pound, kick car — then one idiot gets schooled on Newton's third law of motion

A Chicago street takeover took a scary turn over the weekend when individuals were caught on video appearing to trap a white Tesla on Lower Wacker Drive — and some even climbed atop the hood to take selfies.

At one point, the driver — who seemed to be leaning on the car's horn — got irritated or scared or both and appeared to put the car in motion ever so slightly, after which those sitting on it immediately got off and then started to pound and kick the car.

At that point, the Tesla driver apparently decided enough was enough and drove off, after which at least one of the street takeover revelers appeared to be hit by the escaping car.

A female dutifully let loose with a horrified shriek — as if the collision occurred in some left-wing vacuum where it's normal to climb on other people's cars and damage them and get away unscathed.

As militant leftists tend to do, they chased after the Tesla — which by that point had sustained damage to its driver-side mirror — and pounded and kicked the vehicle some more while a female hollered, "F*** this car up!" and another yelled, "What the f***, bro!"

The clip ends with the Tesla veering through more traffic and sideswiping a vehicle.

Here's the clip. Content warning: language:

What happened next?

A second clip from a different camera shows what transpired in the next few moments — along with a view of the Tesla's smashed-out rear window while revelers continued to pound and kick the vehicle.

After the sideswipe, folks are seen running after the Tesla before a police officer suddenly appears and tells the foaming-at-the-mouth attackers to "back up!"

The cop then appears to get close to the Tesla and take photos before the driver peels away — and believe it or not, there appears to be at least seven police officers watching the whole thing go down. It isn't clear from the videos if any of them took any action at all.

According to the X account Chicago Critter, which posted the videos, the incident took place Friday.

The Daily Mail reported that several street takeovers were happening at the time of the Lower Wacker incident.

A police scanner could be heard in video that "the driver is getting attacked by the people now," the outlet noted.

The Daily Mail said it reached out to Chicago police regarding the incident, but authorities didn't respond before publication of the story.
