SUV-hating Tyre Extinguishers group is deflating tires as protest:
The group's reasoning and politics are abundantly clear. Large vehicles like SUVs are"a disaster for our health, our public safety and our climate," the group says on its website."Bigger and bigger cars are dominating our towns and cities, and all so a privileged few can flaunt their wealth. Because governments and politicians have failed to protect us from this danger, we must protect ourselves.
Before we go any further, let us point out that letting the air out of a stranger's tires has got to be at least a misdemeanor, right? In 2006, a member of the Houston Police Department wrote in thethat anyone letting air out of another person's tire"would be breaking the law whether you damaged the tire or not. Simply letting the air out would be a violation of the law for the inconvenience caused the owner.
The Tyre Extinguishers' website gives specific instructions on how to deflate an SUV's tire in less than 10 seconds without doing any permanent damage, and it makes clear that the mission here isn't simply to make someone late for work. The group recommends targeting SUVs in posh or middle-class areas and then leaving a leaflet on the windshield explaining why their SUV now has a flat tire.
The Tyre Extinguishers also declare their limits, saying that cars clearly used by people with disabilities, commercial vehicles, minibuses and"normal-sized cars" should all be left alone. The group does not care about a vehicle's powertrain, either, proclaiming that hybrids and electric cars are fair game.
