Teens arrested for smashing 'decadent' SUVs

By MIKE GLENN

A teenager serving five years' probation for felony arson in a flag-burning case headed a group of self-described environmental guerrillas who vandalized almost 50 sport utility vehicles, officials said Tuesday.

Precinct 4 deputy constables said the group, led by Randall W. Heinrichs, 18, smashed windows and slashed tires on SUVs in north Harris County from October through December.

Investigators said the vandals used bats embedded with nails to smash windows and cut tires and sprayed graffiti, including Nazi swastikas, on the vehicles.

Four teenagers have been charged with criminal mischief.

Heinrichs, placed on deferred adjudication last year after pleading guilty in the arson case, has a "personal hatred" for SUVs, said Precinct 4 Capt. Rick Brass. "He talks about how they are environmentally unfriendly (and) decadent," he said.

Heinrichs, of Houston, was arrested Jan. 9 and is held in Harris County Jail without bail because of his arson probation.

Lindsey Garofano, 18, of Houston and Jarett Barger, 19, of Cypress were arrested Tuesday. Their bail was set at $5,000 each.

Joshua Killen, 18, of Cypress is expected to turn himself in shortly, deputy constables said.

Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

I'll let them express themselves all they want...while bleeding in the bottom of a ditch: "Help me! Help me! My legs are broken."

Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

Some skank punks without jobs trying to tell others how to spend their own money.

I agree. "Lindsey" is one of the pretentious names that upper middle class liberals love to bestow on their darlings, and I bet the judge has one at home just like her. A spoiled brat, in other words. But as long as she cloaks it in liberal causes, she'll get away with it. And she'll continue to do so even as an adult.

I wish I had an SUV; I'd ride by the jail, honk, flip them the finger, and laugh.

I have one and live in Houston and love your idea! Trouble is, I'd have to take off work to do it. I just hope they suffer big time in jail.

Speaking of rich kids and kerry, Teresa Heinz is a envirowacko of the first degree. She and kerry met at a brazillian earth summit.

We have to expect more of these as the democrats die off.

She and kerry met at a brazillian earth summit. Why doesnt that surprise me?

[Savage Beast]

A good rule of thumb: If the "environmentalists" are for it, be against it, and vice versa.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

The little B@st@rds should be flogged.

Come on around and smash mine and we'll have an opportunity to, briefly, discuss your views on the 2nd amendment as well.

[OpusatFR]

Well, I'd like the state to work these kids and donate the money to charity. In fact, I could suggest a venue for their labor.

One reason I am for more immigration!

She thought that she'd found a new species of ape.

Hmmm. Each in their day the Nazis, the Communists, and the Islamofascists have all denounced the USA as 'decadent'. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the Enviros followed suit.

Parts of our culture may be decadent, but to the Nazis it was because we are "Judaized and Negrified", to the Communists it was economic liberty, to the Islamofascists that we are "infidels".

And to the Enviros? It's because big families have big cars!

truth be told, they all have a commonality....they want what you have...for free

Parents mourn children killed during protests***"I would never try to stop Nathan from following his heart," Allsbrooks said. "But if I had known that I was going to lose my son to that, I would have intervened in any way possible."***

[MississippiMan]

Vandalizing fifty vehicles is "mischief?" Sheesh.

Pipe my SUV exhaust into their cells.

Stupid kids.

Up to a point, but the Enviros hate big families as such. The other encourage it among their own.
