The Tire Extinguishers movement, which started in the United Kingdom, 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 the tires of approximately 40 SUVs were deflated on the Upper East Side.

Greta's behind this, I just know it.
And so, these slashed tires will be TRUCKED to piles of other slashed tires where they will wait while the Greensters figure out how to "greenly" dispose of them. Meanwhile, the owners of the SUV's will make the previously unnecessary drive to the tire store to buy more tires, which will then need to be backfilled with more new tires, with the prerequisite belching of fire and smoke... Yeah... Slashing those tires REALLY HELPED...
ReplyDeleteThe article says tires slashed, but that's not what I've read. Rather than slashing tires, they put a small stone in the valve stem and replacing the cap. In a few hours, your tire is flat and you need to put on a spare just to get to the closest gas station. They cause you 99% of the inconvenience of a slashed tire without creating any waste from junking an otherwise good tire.

Who doesn't carry a can of Fix-a-Flat in their truck?
DeleteOr one of those compressors you plug into the cigarette lighter?
DeleteConsidering the cost of tires for such vehicles and trucks, I'd guess that's felony level crime, and in some states you can shoot them for that.
ReplyDeleteBe careful, I might retaliate and miss your tire and accidently slash your throat.

Slab my tires and I will punt kick your ass in to next week.
ReplyDeleteIf it started in England, wouldn’t it be called: the Tyre Extinguishers movement?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait til they do some rapper's or drug dealers.....oh, i repeat myself. Anyway, Escalade or G-wagon.
ReplyDeleteI know in most states that if you mess with somebody's vehicle and get caught, it's not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to catch someone doing that shit, they'd better like hospital food cause they're gonna be eating it for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought "drinking it through a straw" to be more likely.
DeleteThey are going to look funny picking their teeth out of their ass with a broken arm
ReplyDeleteBecause forcing someone to replace their tires with newly manufactured tires somehow reduces global warming? How does selling more tires benefit the planet?
ReplyDeleteIt would be a real shame if someone started yanking the charging cables from EVs charging overnight. A damn shame.
