Climate Activists Deflate 900 SUV Tires — Including on a PEOPLE Editor's Car: 'There Has to Be a Better Way'
People via Yahoo ^ | November 29, 2022 | By Abigail Adams

Climate change activists in eight countries claim they deflated tires on more than 900 SUVs in what they call their "largest-ever night of action against SUVs."

Vehicles in 19 cities across the globe were apparently targeted late Monday night and early Tuesday morning by members of The Tyre Extinguishers, an international group of protesters known for deflating tires on SUVs in an effort to keep the vehicles off the streets.

The group says 52 cars were hit in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City, as were hundreds of others across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands, according to a post on its website.

The group says their goal is to "make it impossible to own" large cars like SUVs and 4x4s "in the world's urban areas."

“We're taking this action because governments and politicians have failed to protect us from these huge vehicles," the group says on its website, where they add, "Politely asking and protesting for these things has failed."

Tyre Extinguishers claim to have deflated over 10,000 SUVs in various cities worldwide since March in their effort to rid urban areas of the vehicles.

"There has to be a better way to combat climate change than vandalizing people's cars," she says.

I'm sure this clown supported the "Summer of Peaceful Protesting", so little sympathy for her.

should be hit with RICO charges

RICO Charges? Is that a new type of bullet?

AND so now 900 SUVs need to have a tow truck drive out drive out and power an air compressor burning even more carbon.

Green tire cap means (evil) Nitrogen.

Green cap is good too. I wonder if there’s any thought by them to how counterproductive it is deflating nitrogen filled tires?

Childish, criminal and ignorant. Public schools and universities created these morons. They can’t do the math or the science, but they do believe.

It wouldn’t help. Put them out of our misery by deportation or secession.

The appropriate punishment is a tape a commercial-grade compressor to their mouth and let it run for the same amount of time it takes to refill the four tires Mr. Greeny deflated. Maybe use nitrogen for extra shits and giggles.

If they keep doing it eventually one will get caught and get his ass beat, then it'll be really funny.

Notice the only place in the U.S. they did this is NYC. If they'd done it in real America chances are one of them would have been shot.

if you are going to charge Jan 6th protestors with seditious conspiracy, you have to charge these protestors with criminal conspiracy.

Bless your heart.

"In reality they have only caused 900 people to refill their tires with air compressors, which run on electricity, which is mostly generated from fossil fuels. So they just helped hasten the planet’s destruction."

Not to mention increasing the need for tires, one of the greenest manufacturing processes on the planet. (/s)

Funny, haven’t heard of that happening here in Idaho.

We’d be happy to ventilate people like that.
