“ATTENTION – Your gas guzzler kills. We have deflated one or more of your tires. You’ll be angry, but don’t take it personally. It’s not you, it’s your car.”
The letters placed on windshields, along with said deflated tires, are what greeted several Bay Area drivers on the morning of July 5. The letters contained a message written by an international group that deflates the tires of SUVs and other larger vehicles in the name of fighting climate change.
“We did this because driving around urban areas in your massive vehicle has huge consequences for others,” the leaflet says. “We’re taking actions into our own hands because our governments and politicians will not.”

This is the first known instance of members from Tyre Extinguishers, the group responsible, deflating tires in California. The U.K.-based group made their U.S. debut over the past few weeks by deflating tires in Chicago, New York City and Scranton, Pennsylvania.
“As far as we know, this is the first action in the Bay Area - the first of many!” Marion Walker, a spokesperson for Tyre Extinguishers, said in an email to SFGATE. According to Walker, the group’s autonomous nature prevents other members from knowing who is deflating tires and where.

She added that the incident involving the Honda Pilot is being investigated as a case of vehicle tampering, which is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000.

“We want to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world's urban areas. Deflating tyres repeatedly and encouraging others to do the same will turn the minor inconvenience of a flat tyre into a giant obstacle for driving massive killer vehicles around our streets,” Walker said.

How difficult would it be to find out where these idiots live?
It is way past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
“Your gas guzzler kills. We have deflated one or more of your tires. You’ll be angry, but don’t take it personally. It’s not you, it’s your car.”
Great way to get people to be sympathetic to your cause.
What self-righteous punks!
“Great way to get people to be sympathetic to your cause”.
Being in California, most of those tires belong to Libs. I hope they’re pissed.
Kerry’s jet ties, Gore’s houseboat pontoons, Warren’s canoe paddles
I *will* donate money to this cause
The fact that people like this are alive is a crime against the Earth and they should be Sanctioned and composted for the benefit of us all.
Why is it when we say PA, NY or IL are shitholes, people say its the dem city that runs the state and the rest is blue, but when it comes to CA that is forbidden to mention that the state is ran by LA, SF bay and Sacramento?
There are more Right leaning people in Ca then you would believe, mainly out in the central valley and northern CA
Deflate these morons a slightly different way.
I totally understand and agree with everything you say. A FReeper friend is in northern CA. A long time ago he educated me on that. That is why I said “most” because it’s taking place in a known liberal controlled area.
There are more conservatives in California than there are in many states.

They best stay in the Bay Area and LA environs. Central Bslley farmers know how to protect their property
Those SUVs are multi-purpose vehicles. Dad might drive the entire family to church on Sunday, but later drive to the Home Depot and pick up 30 sacks of concrete for a foundation to an add-on to the kitchen. I can see the back area of the SUV loaded with camping gear and a canoe straddling the top for some river fishing. These Green Weenies probably never grew up in a real family with a father.
I’m sick of these people. They are nothing but bullies, I was bullied as a kid and I hate bullies. My mother told me the only way to deal with them is stand up to them and fight. That said, I’d give my last $10 to see somebody(ies) catch these terrorists where they would be staring down the barrel of a Henry Rifle, M1911A1, M1 Carbine and or an M1 Garand, bonus points if they have an Uzi or a MAC-10. Better yet, if they did that to some SUV owned by someone in the Mob, they’d be “sleeping with the fishes” or decomposing somewhere in the dark places of Appalachia, at least with the latter, they would be doing something useful. These people don’t know it but if they tick off the wrong person or people.......
Touch my car I break your face
These climate freaks are the worst kind of censors too, they are very prone to shutting down any sort of actual discussion or debate about their nutcase theories.
These nut cases truly believe in their
reasoning, cause, and effect. How would
they feel if a child had to be rushed
to an emergency care facility, only to
find that dad’s car has a couple of flat
tires, and couldn’t get out of the
driveway?
There's enough out of work people that can be alert at night.
'course, a pair of balls and a gun are pretty good pre-requisites.
Sorry for the hole in your chest, but it's not you, it's your heart

You don’t get it.
These are True Believers.
They don’t care
Their leftist agenda is bigger and more important than anything else.
Very dangerous.
They would not give a damn.
These are rabid animals. They need to be put down hard and left for the buzzards and coyotes to eat.
They do not care, one less child, one less carbon footprint for the Earth!
