Eco-zealots are slashing tires on SUVs across the globe in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Tyre Extinguishers movement, which started in the U.K., has spread to the United States and leaders promised to 'expand massively' in the coming weeks.
New York City was hard hit by the group last month when approximately 40 SUVs were deflated in the Upper East Side.
Residents in Chicago; San Francisco, California; and Scranton, Pennsylvania were also targeted by the climate activists.

When a few of them get a serious beating for their vandalism, they won't think they are so damned smart.
And if they push hard enough, they may be very unhappy.

Set up a sting operation and put the destructive whackos in jail and make them pay restitution and prison time.

Do they not know what tires are made from. Clue: oil.
Hmm, how do they dispose of the tires? Who ultimately pays for the damage?
The ends justify the means? That works both ways.

Trying that in Chicago seems unwise. The popping sound might be a Glock rather than a Goodyear.

Law and order is going to be a powerful issue in the 2024 election. Republicans should be focusing on it now, but I don’t hear too much about it other than by my fellow Americans who are terribly concerned about the rise in violence. Law and order is another strong Republican issue M & M should be out there championing. It’s hard to do that when you have little interest in anything but re-election and protecting your personal power and control.

Slash or just deflate? Big diff.
They say slash but it looks like deflate.

Come tippy toeing into my driveway to cut my tires. My 911 call is a round hitting the chamber and the safety coming off. Night optics and lasers are amazing technology.

If so, I suspect that they're in for a big surprise...

They are not zealots or activist. They are terrorist. And keep it up before the midterms will probably end up with more law and order elected officials. And that is like sunlight and a wooden stake to democrats.

Some of these activist might have the owners of the SUVs they're vandalizing confront them, and the 'violent activists' will stand up and scream about their cause...
... And get shot since they have a weapon in hand and they're acting aggressively. America is not like Europe where these thugs can bully people, secure in the knowledge that their victim is unarmed.

They had better not try sneaking into our gated community in Florida. They’ll be met with a shotgun.

I own a 2020 Ford Escape. Not a super deluxy version. It's getting, as of this morning's reading, 33.5 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. I get 38, and sometimes better, on highway trips.
It's an SUV. A truck. Says so right on the title and on my car insurance.
What constitutes a 'gas guzzler'? What would make my vehicle a target?

I'm sure they have local tour guides who keep them from entering the kill zones and coordinated excursions into the mag mile in Chicago.
We haven't played Cowboys and British before and.......oh wait, yea we did.....

If there is a doubt in anybody's mind that these people are three cheeses short of a four-cheese pizza, here is your proof. The sad part is that our country's current leadership is on their side just like they celebrated when BLM and Antifa burned out the businesses in many democrat-run cities. This is what Build Back Better is all about.

Slash tires in the name of saving the planet? The inner city thugs that do this daily now have a new cause.

What they are doing is an international criminal conspiracy to destroy an unlimited amount of property belonging to Americans. Surely Biden has his FBI on this 24/7?

So they’re targeting SUVs mostly in big cities of blue states. This is good news, meaning that probably 75% of their victims are FJB voters who are faithful congregants of the religion of climate change. They won’t be happy when they’re late for yoga because their tires are flat. More internal conflict among leftists. Sorry for the red voters who get caught up in this.

This is very dangerous. Someone is going to use a tire iron on these very people and it's not going to end well. Please note the cities that this is happening.

The headline made me laugh. eco terrorists slashed tires in NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, and Scranton. How the hell did Scranton get in there? Now these eco terrorists are really in for it. You don't mess with someone's SUV in Scranton.

I would love for these little fa*gots to bring their "protest" to Central Texas. As the character Sonny told the bikers in the movie "A Bronx Tale": "Now youse can't leave". There are miles and miles of nothing in the west Texas desert. Big Fun.

Funny how the FBI can find people who simply watched “the insurrection” on TV and throw them in prison, but are unable to find these enviro-nazis.

Scranton = Dunder Mifflin branch.
I wonder if Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute are behind this for some reason?

If the DAs won't send you to the hoosegow for assault and selling drugs, what are the chances the
stupid-asses will even be arrested for slashing tyres? Best they meet justice from the vehicle owners.

Given the size of some trebuchets I've seen - several hundred pounds is nothing.
Um, could the slashers be used as a replacement for clay pigeons, kind of 'live skeet' ??
Asking for a friend !

They are not eco-zealots, they are terrorists. Treat them as such.
