Tyre Extinguishers claim responsibility for attack to highlight ‘presence of grossly inappropriate private vehicles’ on roads
Good on them. I don't have the appetite for risk right now to do this type of activism, as I have a family to think about, but I wish I had done more in my 20s (I did some but didn't raise enough hell), and I intend to do a shitload more after I retire, if we're all still around.
Anti-SUV activists used a power drill to sabotage the tyres of more than 60 4x4 vehicles at a car dealership, in an attack they described as a reprisal for the deaths of two girls in a crash at a primary school last month.
Once you've come up with a name like that it almost feels irresponsible not to start drilling holes in tires. You've found your calling.
Creating about five tonnes of waste isn’t really a good look for an environmental protest. I get the point they’re making and largely agree, but this isn’t really an effective message to me.
(60 SUVs * 4 tires * ~20kg per tire)
