Eco-zealots return to US to wreak havoc on Boston as they slash FORTY-THREE tires on luxury SUVs including Land Rovers and Mercedes - and leave leaflet on cars saying 'your gas guzzler kills'
2023-04-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] More Black Bloc anarcho-communist syndicate viciousness.
  • An eco-mob dubbed the 'Tyre Extinguishers' has returned to the United States, to Boston’s Beacon Hill neighboehood

  • The group deflates the tires on SUVs because they are 'more likely to kill people'

  • The climate zealots previously claimed they will 'never be caught' after vandalizing New York and striking nine countries in one night
Since its founding in March 2022, the group has claimed to have deflated over 10,000 SUV tires.

When the group hit New York last year, an anonymous representative for the vandals told DailyMail.com: 'We will be striking in major cities all across America as autonomous groups are formed to take action.'

#3  The article (and others like it) says the tires were deflated, not 'slashed'.

#2  Just when you think the 'road hazard warranty', homeowners or auto insurance will pay for those $200+ tires, read the small print about damage incurred due to acts of terror.

Applying their own defining terminology to their crime.

By destroying the 43+ tires and printing the leaflets. They have caused a collection Supply Chain carbon impact related issues from start to finish.

Starting with all the steps to collection raw materials needed to make tires, steps in manufacturing replacement tires, delivery of the finished product, installation of the replacement(s) and safe disposal and handling of the discarded vandalized tires.

PLUS, it may not be just 43 tires, as some vehicle owners will replace 2 or all 4 to match, look and ride properly.

In short, these Eco-IDIOTS have themselves, just impacted the environment 5 to 10 x's more that the vehicle owners.
