Help me ARB, you're my only hope!

The Empire of self-righteous do-gooders has reached the mainland.

Original article:
The "Tire Extinguishers" Arrived in the U.S., They're After Gas Guzzler SUVs - autoevolution

Apparently, this has been happening for about a month overseas but now in New York over 40 "gas-guzzling" vehicles had their tires deflated in one night. The article reads that activists are deflating tires of SUVs and trucks and leaving a pamphlet explaining that they had to do it to fight climate change. They claim they cause the most pollution and should be banned from urban areas.

From what I gather, they haven't yet been emboldened enough to actually damage the tire. So you can still, although an inconvenience, fill up once you notice. Heed this warning! On-board air is ready to fight for your freedom! Contact ARB today to defend what's yours.

One of these days, someone will attempt to deflate the wrong set of tires.

Sigh. Hopefully this doesn't catch on and some other nonsense catches the fancy of those silly enough to do this.

Exactly, and sadly find themselves deflated. Today's world gets crazier by the minute. But OP definitely makes a great point, spousal units may very well approve onboard air upgrades now. ?

Charge them with felonies. This isn’t just destruction of property or a minor inconvenience, this is criminal negligence and disregard for human life.

There are tons of these cowardly "eco warriors" on r/fuckcars ... I want to rail at them but it's pointless to argue with the rabid. I had to hide that subreddit as it was raising my blood pressure. Would show up on the "popular" feeds so clearly people like the idea.

Electric cars are far from zero emissions, and used batterys are a real problem . Electric cars are going to be good but not yet.
We should deflate their tires.
Someone is going to get killed pulling out with a flat tire…..Jack

This is the gateway to straight-up eco-terrorism. From tire extinguishing comes setting vehicles on fire and the like. Because a burning vehicle is always better for the environment.

What happens when they do this to the wrong truck... I bet the majority of SUV/Truck owners are also 2A fans...

If catching someone in the act of doing this, offer to deflate their head, as it appears there is a lot of hot air up there thinking this will somehow solve the world's environmental problems.

Evidently these idiots are doing this to electric vehicles too, since they have a carbon footprint. I read an article about this, yesterday evening.

I'm pretty sure that every single person performing this deflating is a hypocrite.

Good way to get oneself shot.....
