On a searingly hot night in New York City, a group of mask-wearing activists grasping bags of lentils set out to stage the biggest blitzkrieg yet upon a new target for climate campaigners in the US – the tires of SUVs. The group – a mixture of ages and genders – split up as midnight approached, heading down the streets of the Upper East Side, lined by some of the most expensive apartments in the world and a gleaming parade of high-end, parked SUVs. This type of vehicle is the second largest cause of the global rise in carbon dioxide emissions over the

I love how they are doing this in big democrat cities. NYC went 76% for Biden, so likely 3/4 of the SUVs they target are democrats getting exactly what they vote for. Sorry for the other 1/4.

Let's see, you deflate someone's tire what do they do? They call AAA or another service provider and they have to send a tow truck or a vehicle to fix what these idiots broke. So now you have more emissions and the SUV is back on the road. So you actually doubled the emissions by doing this. Typical liberal non-thinking.
You do this to my 4Runner and you'll be hurt.

Only the second largest? The number 1 cause of the global rise in carbon dioxide emissions is electric generation much of which is for EVs but they aren't slashing EV tires for some reason.

I don't believe deflating SUV tires to measure up to a death sentence by shooting at the perps but my baseball bat would give them a wood shampoo for sure if I caught them.

Notice how these moroons go after SUVs in a Deep Blue City where their biggest risk is getting attacked by a feral cashless Bail felons. Out in fly over land they wouldn’t last long. And there would be a large cash Bail if they are lucky.

So I come out to find a "vote against the leftists" flyer on my vehicle and a flat.
I pull out my electric tire pump, refill the tire in a few minutes and vote for anyone but them forever.
Smart.

Eco-idiots, do something serious, like a nationwide study of what type of vehicle is predominantly found idling with AC running in the supermarket parking lot (sometimes with back hatch open), waiting for their pre-ordered groceries to be shoved in, and how long do they wait.
My hypothesis is that it is it is SUVs. If I'm right, use THAT for your public shaming, instead of acting like a bunch of juvenile wanna-be super heroes, who would rather incite anger rather than positive action. (I have my opinion about which is your true motivation, too.)

At least they aren’t slashing the tires as reported earlier and they are hitting hypocritical liberals. On the positive side it is stuff like this that turns liberals into conservatives and it also gives whimpy liberals a course on how to clean out tire valves and use emergency tire inflation devices .
This will stop as soon as a couple of these clowns get beat up or shot which will surely happen.

#3 Now now... none of that. Exploding gun powder causes greenhouse gasses. An eco-friendly and proportionate response would involve a baseball bat.

There a a lot of big, black SUV's in Washington, DC just ripe for this kind of protest. There are also a lot at the beach in Delaware most weekends, I understand. And why not target the tires of those carbon spewing private jets at the DC airport? Just trying to help.

Touch my Car/Truck and you will regret it instantly. In Texas we have the Castle Law, anyone on your property doing vandalism or stealing are just targets!

Are the tyre slashers aware of the Gallup poll as reported in the NRA newsletter. : '... In October 2021, an astounding 23% of people polled said they carry a firearm for self-defense.. ..
I guess they can only do that in 'Gun Free' states and cities.

Did you know? Crossbow pistols make no noise and leave no carbon footprint or pesky casings. One should be VERY careful with the mayhem one does. Just sayin'

Why don't we just give them the addresses/co-ordinates for coal plants in China and provide one way air?
I'm sure it will all work out.

"...grasping bags of lentils" Chickpeas? I guess that's better than AK-47s.

Mediots are actually accompanying the eco-terrorists this time. Should be fun when an SUV owner catches them in the act.
