https://www.thedrive.com/news/tire-extinguishers-activists-are-deflating-suv-tires-in-major-us-cities https://twitter.com/T_Extinguishers/status/1543547051463557121?s=20&t=wLKPyZloA8O34QgSQiYj_A A U.K.-based activist group called "The Tyre Extinguishers" has landed in the U.S. and claims they've deflated tires on dozens of SUVs in several major cities, including New York, Chicago, and the Bay Area. The group, which says the thirsty SUVs significantly contribute to climate change, has no official leadership but encourages independent participation through social media and offers a hallmark note to be left on the victims' cars. I do not own a large SUV, but I came out to find a tire deflated I would probably have some choice, non-ToS friendly things to say about whomever did it. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/2/3/AAb05zAADbtT.jpg --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1531-food-delivery-services-general ...

Most SUV's from major producers have hybrid engines, and again, the catalytic converter, the most important and rarely acknowledged invention of the lasat 40 years has done wonders on vehicle emissions. Also, most major cities have vehicles pass emissions tests or else face penalty. As mentioned, there are other more important routes to take to manage emissions and climate change initiatives. And if caught, someone is going to get absolutely shot. To quote John Travolta as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction: What's more chicken-shit than fuckin' with a man's automobile?

These idiots are another example of wannabe "slacktivists" who clearly slack at forethought.

dirtydog posted... I shouldn't say I hope it happens to them, but I will say I wouldn't be feeling sad if it did happen.It would be grim yet comical to see a news article that one of these stupid vehicle tampering activists got themselves brutally maimed or fatally capped by angry citizens of Chicago or NYC defending their property. What this group is attempting to do still counts as tampering with a stranger's vehicle. It's vandalism with the additional appearance of attempted sabotage (owner does not immediately know what the vandal's intent is or what exactly has been done to the vehicle). That usually invites a panicked and often upset response from US citizens. Even Americans who are environmentalists themselves could still react violently, even become homicidal, to discovering their vehicle has been vandalized. So could their peers and family. Hell, an angry mob could form. These idiot activists are setting themselves to get beat or shot without having to involve local authorities at all. And they leave a calling card... If you want to teach people to save the world, that's fine. But this is an example of how to bury your own cause, not promote it. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. https://tryimg.com/u/2020/08/11/1tZ1gcH.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
