Parents who love their children drive big strong SUVs to protect them.

I caught a long haired liberal jerk trying to slash my tires once. The moron stood up a faced me with a weapon in his hand when confronted. In the ensuing struggle he got his hand stomped on repeatedly, his shirt ripped off and pulled over his head, and a couple of bumps on the head from kissing my pickup truck. I called the Sherriffs department to find out if I was in any trouble and they said don't worry about it.

More than 30 SUVs in the Richmond, Virginia, area have been attacked with chemicals and hatchets over the past few weeks and had their tyres slashed. The initials ELF (Earth Liberation Front) were found after some of the attacks.

Ah yes.
Our homegrown sweethearts.

I see some serious jail time coming...
This is just another form of terrorism... and there's always a "good" reason for it.

Yes! Why can't ELF members' names be ID'd and some visits made? When no one's home, of course. Then . . .

some payback is made to their cars, boats, homes, trailers, etc??

What did Al Capone (Robert DeNiro) say to Eliot Ness (Kevin Kostner) in the movie, "Untouchables?"
"I want his house . . .

Hhmmmm.....just an observation, but one could spell E-L-F on some dumb a$$'s chest/back with their own hatchet....Nine little 'whacks' would do it very well.

Otherwise "S3" (Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up) works too.

I'm willing to bet that those who are perpetrating these attacks arrive in mass in a large van, or other SUV type vehicle. Thier desired bans never apply to themselves!

Suggest the same technique up through the bottom of the heel. The bit will likely slip less.

No vehicle in the United States provokes greater controversy than the sport utility vehicle (SUV), the bulky four-wheel drive that has sold in record numbers. Now it has become the target of acid-like chemical attacks by environmentalists

Controversy? What controversy? I have no issues/inner conflict about buying a 4X4... in fact, it's a required criteria!

They are also three times more likely to cause fatal injuries in road accidents because they are so heavy.

What a bunch of crap. I would think those speck cars are just as likely to be causes of fatal injuries - because they're TRAVELING at 55 or more mph and they're easier to destroy! D'OH.

I certainly hope so-and if some apparently helpless 'little old lady' in a fur coat were to ventilate a few red paint throwing antifur activists, that would be just as sweet..

It would be a rightous shoot and the Grand Jury would no bill granny...at least in Texas.

They slash tires, which means they probably cannot be repaired and are then replaced. Where do the old tires go? So much for them being real environmentalists.

If they were really concerned about highway safety, they'd pass out leaflets letting people know they should check their tires a couple times a month to make sure they are properly inflated and do not have any odd wear or worn down to 2/32 or less.

He should have also received a nice sweet kiss from the trailer hitch. To do it properly, he should be doing about 10 feet per second when his lips hit the hitch.
