Pregnant Tesla passenger 'injured by flying rock,' police in Canada say — and observers have field day with cops' word choice
The Vancouver Police Department in British Columbia used the following heading to lead a recent report it posted on X: "VPD investigates after Tesla passenger injured by flying rock."
That's right: A "flying rock."
'"[F]lying rock." You’re hilarious. The rock flew into the pregnant woman’s TESLA. All by itself. Sigh.'
Before we unpack the responses the department received due to its word choice, let's have a look at what police found out.
Police said a woman — who is pregnant — "was struck and seriously injured by a large rock that smashed through the windshield of her Tesla in East Vancouver" on March 30.
The woman was a passenger during the incident, which took place around 8:45 p.m., police said.
The driver of the grey 2022 Tesla was traveling north on Nanaimo Street, and as it passed East 27th Avenue, the two-pound rock "smashed through the windshield and struck the woman before ending up on the floorboard of the vehicle," police said.
“We are working to determine whether this was a criminal act, and if someone intentionally targeted this Tesla,” Sgt. Steve Addison said. “This very serious incident could easily have resulted in someone’s death, but for a few inches.”
Police said the victim "sustained a serious but non-life-threatening injury and is recovering."
Police also said they "don’t yet know where the rock came from or what caused it to strike the vehicle." Police added that witnesses or those with dashcam video taken on Nanaimo Street between East 29th and East 22nd between 8:40 and 9 p.m. on March 30 are asked to contact VPD at 604-717-4021.
It also isn't clear if the incident was politically motivated. Vancouver police deployed 130 additional officers over the weekend the incident occurred to help keep the peace at various Tesla Takedown events, Global News reported.
Leftist attacks against Tesla vehicles — and even Tesla owners — have occurred in well over 20 American states to date, and all of it appears motivated by anger at Tesla CEO Elon Musk for aligning with President Donald Trump and running his administration's cost-cutting DOGE department.
How are observers reacting?
As noted previously, responders to the police department's X post took issue with its "flying rock" reference, among other things. To wit:
- One commenter replied, "'[F]lying rock.' You’re hilarious. The rock flew into the pregnant woman’s TESLA. All by itself. Sigh."
- "Truck drivers? Bad," another user noted sarcastically, presumably in reference to the 2022 Canadian truckers' Freedom Convoy. "Flying rock? Protected speech."
- "Hint: Self-flying rocks are not a thing," another commenter wrote.
- "So rocks hate Tesla?" another user asked. "Is that your argument[?]"
- "Not a criminal act? Does Canada have large rocks flying on its own?" another commenter wondered. "Tesla related or not, it's a crime."
- "They better be charged with attempted murder," another user said. "Knowing Canada, it will be nothing."
- "Knowing how the Vancouver police and courts are reluctant to take left-wing political violence seriously, it's unlikely much will come of this," another commenter stated.
- "Magical 'flying rocks' are targeting Tesla drivers?" another user asked with tongue firmly in cheek. "We all know what happened. When will the VPD start cracking down on domestic terrorists in Vancouver?"
- "You are doing f**k all," another commenter replied. "We know the talking points by now. You will never find the culprit (but you can find freedom protesters in no time), or he will get out on bail within 12 hours and never be seen again until the next criminal act. Don't bother …. You cops are broken."

VIRAL VIDEO: Trans woman takes positive pregnancy test?
Radical lefties rejoice as we finally have proof that trans women can get pregnant.
Or do we?
Pat Gray plays a video that’s since gone viral of a trans woman celebrating his first positive pregnancy test.
“You guys, I took a pregnancy test. I thought something looked a little suspicious,” the man said into the mirror while holding his protruding stomach.
“But yeah, I took a pregnancy test, and I was positive. I’ve been on hormones for around three years, and I knew that this was gonna eventually be able to happen, and I’m super happy,” he continued, before showing the plus sign on the test.
What are we seeing here? History being made? A satirical skit mocking those who believe men can bear children? Or a medical phenomenon caused by who-knows-what unnatural procedures?
In Pat’s opinion, the video is probably a joke. “It might be making a point,” he says.
“But you don't know anymore, man! We are living in the strangest timeline,” says Keith Malinak.
And it’s true — it is nearly impossible these days to tell the difference between mockery and the next culture war.
Watch the video below and decide for yourself.
