In an email circulated on Monday morning, the Tyre Extinguishers said the attack was in response to an incident in which a Land Rover crashed through a school fence into an end-of-year tea party at the Study Prep school in Wimbledon, south-west London, killing eight-year-olds Selena Lau and Nuria Sajjad, and injuring 16 others
Madness that you can’t even be safe away from the street.
Eh not really.
It’s not “Fuck cars for existing”. It’s “Fucking cars are taking priority over walkable cities and neighborhoods”.
Meh, I would say fuck SUV for existing ! And they specifically target a seller in response of a child being killed INSIDE a school by an SUV.
no, it’s fuck the economical and political environment that make SUVs desireable
Yeah alsobutly they are doing exactly that. My personal take is that “economical et political environment” means everything and nothing. Car industry are glad that ppl are mad a intengible stuff that they can’t do shit about because they can do business as usual and complain that every individual action is as the same time too much and too little. In this instance I don’t give a fuck that a car dealer get their expensive SUV damaged. But we also have to promote alternative and better infrastructure.
We can do both
This isn’t about them existing, it’s about them being dangerous. This is retaliation for killing children.
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.
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)
It isn’t entirely environmental. This was specifically about them being dangerous after they killed children at tea party.
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.

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.
Thank you 😁
