I don’t know? Is Nitrogen bad today? I can’t keep up with the crazy ;-)
Deport their goatsmellin’ limey asses.
That’s why I always park in my garage.
If I catch them there I get to shoot them
Somebody with a partially deflated tire could get into a deadly accident.
The whole team might get sent to the ‘big house’ for decades.
“Is Nitrogen bad today?”
It’s only bad in The Netherlands.
Indian cow nitrogen is 100% harmless.
“nor any vehicles with handicap signage.”
Well that was mighty decent of them.

A different article posted here on FR said tires were slashed, not just deflated
Pipeline Vandals Are Reinventing Climate Activism https://www.wired.com/story/monkeywrenching-vandals-are-reinventing-climate-activism/ Nov 9, 2018 — Though they were convicted of trespassing, the judge declared from the bench that the activists were “part of the solution” to climate change.
It’s pretty easy to paralyze America’s oil infrastructure. All Emily Johnston and Annette Klapstein needed was a set of 3-foot-long green-and-red bolt cutters. And a willingness to go to jail for years. On October 11, 2016, as they pulled up to an oil pipeline facility in the farm fields outside Leonard, Minnesota, .. It was a cold morning, aspens shaking their dull gold under heavy skies. A fellow activist, Ben Joldersma, livestreamed to Facebook as the two women cut the chains around fenced enclosures containing large shut-off valves for two oil pipelines owned by the Canadian multinational Enbridge. The pipes carry crude oil from deposits of tar sands (also referred to as oil sands) in Alberta, transporting it to Lake Superior. Because making petroleum products from this goo—called bitumen—releases more global-warming emissions than most other oil sources...
What only a handful of people knew, however, was that Johnston and Klapstein were part of a nationwide action dubbed #ShutItDown that would also choke off pipelines at three other locations in North Dakota, Montana, and Washington State that day, moving east to west.
And yet, Clearwater County district judge Robert Tiffany shocked just about everyone in October 2017 when he issued a short memorandum granting a necessity defense to the Minnesota Valve Turners....No federal charges were filed by the Obama administration. However, on October 23, 2017, 84 members of the House signed a letter decrying “recent attempts to disrupt the transmission of oil and natural gas” and calling on attorney general Jeff Sessions to prosecute. It cited the Valve Turners' attempted sabotage. So far, no action.
Just this year [2018], DeChristopher and a group of other activists actually did win a necessity case, though it was not by jury trial. In that case, 14 people, including DeChristopher and Karenna Gore, daughter of Al Gore and director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York, were charged with civil infractions after disrupting construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline being built through the Boston suburb of West Roxbury. At the hearing early in 2018, Judge Mary Ann Driscoll found them “not responsible” by reason of necessity.
When you drop a lentil in a valve stem cap and screw the cap back on, the air will slowly leak out of the tire.
Inconvenience without actual tire damage. That's an improvement.
