A far-left international group that encourages groups of people to deflate tires on parked sports utility vehicles (SUV) in an effort to combat global warming has expanded its operations to 18 countries.

The group, named the Tyre Extinguishers and based in the U.K., has claimed credit for tire-deflating operations in American cities including New York City, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, and cities in England, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and Italy among others. And most recently, on Thursday, members affiliated with the Tyre Extinguishers conducted an action in Lisbon, Portugal.

Those tires are made of petroleum byproducts, so, more fossil-fuels are required to replace those tires.

Now, those crazies will have to insist that all tires for EVs be made of other materials, and not the fossil-fuels that go into making them.

Indoctrinated ignoramuses, all of them.

Yeah. Because only to a radical climate nutter does slashing tires equal green. Slash tires and new tires are needed, which means more rubber, more petroleum products used, more electricity used, and an otherwise perfectly good tire going to waste. Kind of defeats their whole purpose.

If the Marxist Winnie Mandela (dead at age 81 in 2018) was still around she could pay a junk fee for the sabotaged tires and patch them up enough to put around opponents’ necks to let the victims slowly burn to death in agony.

She stated, “With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country”, which was widely seen as an explicit endorsement of necklacing. This caused the African National Congress (ANC) to initially distance itself from her, although she later took on a number of official positions within the party.

Necklacing is a method of extrajudicial summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire drenched with petrol around a victim’s chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The term “necklace” originated in the 1980s in black townships of apartheid South Africa

The first victim of necklacing, according to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, was a young black woman, Maki Skosana, on 20 July 1985.

Moloko said her sister was burned to death with a tire around her neck while attending the funeral of one of the youths. Her body had been scorched by fire and some broken pieces of glass had been inserted into her vagina, Moloko told the committee. Moloko added that a big rock had been thrown on her face after she had been killed.

Necklacing was used by the black community to punish its members who were perceived as collaborators with the apartheid government.

Photojournalist Kevin Carter was the first to photograph a public execution by necklacing.

Probably sponsored by tire companies. I saw a news story about some business attacked by an idiot who started to clean up the mess on security camera, owner said she forgave him, and as a cynic, my instant impression was, friend of hers, almost no damage, regional publicity for the business.

These tire slashers are anarchists supporting a big government cause, shows how dumb they must be. Eventually people will be able to buy specific insurance to cover it, and as is already partly the case, the net gain for the environment (if you accept their assumptions, I don’t) would be negative.

Tire-deflating operations in democrat run New York City, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco?

They are eating their own. Now we need the SUV owners to reply in-kind against the slashers. A win, win.

Oddly enough, there are no reports of older pickups with horse trailers having their tires slashed.

Please Tyre Extinguishers don’t slash my tires.

I live in Florida and we have the Castle doctrine.

I would really hate to put a cap in your ass.

You get the idea. The list of cities was telling as well.

"Shoot them dead"

Then shoot them again, because, as a Florida sheriff stated, "Evil cannot be dead enough."
