    The left has gotten out of control. If someone wants to believe in the climate change myth then that is fine. When they start pulling crap like this that is another story.

    How arrogant is it when folks feel they can tell others what kind of vehicle they should drive?

    This is the problem with the left: arrogance.

    Are they any different than some religious cult telling others how to live? Prolly so. I don't recall any religious cults pulling crap like this.

    The left needs to be confronted at every turn. This I why I challenge their point of view. In doing so I see how wrong they are on many issues.

    Pretty much all scientists that cover climate and the environment agree that climate change is occurring, most but not all agree that humans are accelerating it.

    It is one thing to say you don’t believe it is man made and another thing entirely to deny reality and say it isn’t occurring at all.

    That said, people should have the right to make personal decisions in a “free” nation. I think we can all agree with that, right?

    It takes energy and natural resources to manufacture tires, then there is the disposal problem. Down here by me Juarez had a tire fire that went on for months. Anyway, think of all the things that have to be done to replace these tires, all the driving, all the energy that must be used to replace them. What was accomplished? These idiots are causing the exact problem they’re wokely fighting against.

    By the way, this is terrorism. Garland, you out there?

    I do not care what the "eggsperts" say, show me the science. All they have are computer models that show historical temperature data. There is zero proof that mankind is accelerating it.

    So you don’t care what experts in their field believe but want science that would be derived from those experts?

    Strange

    Like I said, climate change is occurring — that isn’t up for debate. I have no desire to discuss whether it is influenced by humans with someone that immediately dismissed all experts on the topic.

    North America was covered with ice long before SUVs were invented. What melted the ice?

    I don't give a damn if there was 100% factually correct irrefutable evidence of climate change believed by everyone and proven directly the result of gas guzzling vehicles that would cause the entire world to die in the next 24 months....

    That still doesn't give anybody the right to vandalize someone elses property to make some sort of ideological statement.

    I too believe that large V8 gas guzzling vehicles are mostly pointless for the majority of Americans who only buy the things because they want one but never in a million years would I think of damaging someone elses vehicle over my beliefs. Again as always the case with stories like this I take solace in the fact that such nonsense doesn't happen in my tiny rural neck of the woods. Neither do home invasions, and when everybody from solicitors to local cops knock unannounced they stand about 10 feet back from the door and talk to you until you invite them closer if you so desire.

    There's a reason for that. I'll let folks brainstorm as to why that is.

    You don't seem to understand that what scientists believe is completely irrelevant.

    It's what they can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt no one cares about their beliefs anymore than you guys care about religious people's beliefs and the beliefs of science are every bit as religious

    And another thing these true believers failed to take into account..... There are good percentage of people who drive larger vehicles who require them for work.

    That road you're stupid little electric car drives on? It took men working with heavy equipment to make that so how the hell do you think the heavy equipment got there? Your lawn service guy that comes and does all the hot sweaty work for you?

    He had to tow all that equipment there on a trailer and good luck towing that down the road with your little Prius

    We've got a lot of lifted, coal rollin' trucks in Florida but these ****wits would be wise not to try this here (I mean, it aint called The Gunshine State for nothing). I personally cant stand these hick-up trucks, as I call them, they're loud they're unsafe and I'm so tired of being blinded by improperly aimed headlights, but if I see some blue haired progtard getting their ass kicked for deflating someones tires I'm not stepping in to break it up.

    This sounds like a good way for idiots to get themselves shot.

    You would shoot someone for deflating a tyre?

    Bit of an over reaction there

    Should we go after the social media platforms that allow this crap to trend in the first place?

    I mean one crazed nutjob lone wolf posts rhetoric on Gab before his rampage and its enough to label it a 'alt right terror breeding ground' and justify it being banned from domain hosting, and registration, and payment processing, and app stores, and so on. But if hundreds of thousands of nutjobs coordinate acts of vandalism or rioting or arson on Facebook or Twitter then its ok because those are left-wing platforms and the perps and leftists too.

    That it might be but it's a good idea to leave your hands off of other people's things.

    Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

    Why not? They targeted the “guerrilla gardeners” and they were actually doing good

    Still an over reaction. Bit of a pity if you see someone bending down near your tyre, shoot them only to find they were trying to retrieve thier dog which had run under the car

    This isn’t “the left”. It’s a few extremists.

    Quit trying (and failing) to put words in my mouth. I never said it was "acceptable", but it is reality: Screw with people's vehicles and you're liable to end up hurt.
