Eco-zealots have dramatically returned to the US to wreak havoc in Boston as they slashed forty-three luxury SUV tires in the name of climate activism.
Residents of the sleepy community of Beacon Hill became the latest victims of the crazed mob, who bill themselves as “tire extinguishers.”
The climate fanatics have enraged motorists on both sides of the Atlantic by deliberately deflating the tires of family vehicles before leaving their victims a condescending note telling their victims, “You gas guzzlers are killing.”
The group strikes early in the morning, before their targets are awake, exclusively dumping SUVs they believe “cause more air pollution” and are “more likely to kill people.”
After their late-night attack on the east coast on Thursday, local residents woke up to find a condescending letter that, despite slashed tyres, told them: “You will have no trouble getting around on foot, bike or public transport without your gas guzzler.” .”
The group’s return to the US comes after the fanatics previously boasted they “never get caught” after hitting 40 SUVs in New York City in July.

The environmental agitators first hit Boston on Thursday, but in September the group celebrated their most destructive night ever after infuriating motorists in nine different countries.
In addition to marking their usual territory in Britain, innocent drivers in countries like France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Norway found their tires slashed overnight.
In Boston, the mob left their letters on over 40 family vehicles, telling their targets, “It’s not you, it’s your car.”
The group is conducting the attack in the name of an “emergency,” saying the reason the tires were slashed is because larger vehicles are “a disaster for our climate.”
“We’re taking action into our own hands because our governments and politicians won’t do it,” the letter adds, with SUVs being the obvious main problem, as in part “psychological studies show that SUV drivers are more likely to take risks on the road.” . .
While the vandals claim not to target electric or hybrid vehicles and avoid vehicles with disabled signs, many people argue that the repeated act could have disastrous consequences, including for people in a medical emergency.
Although their tires were slashed, the victims are told: “You will have no trouble getting around on foot, bike or public transport without your gas guzzler.”
The group’s website has a section showing wannabes “How to Deflate an SUV Tire”.
In a blog post following the nighttime vandalism in Boston, the Tire Extinguishers said they specifically chose the Beacon Hill community because it was “one of the most affluent neighborhoods” in the area.
The group said the affluent community was targeted because “the climate crisis is an environmental justice issue and solutions to the crisis must prioritize marginalized and poor communities and first and foremost reduce emissions from the world’s rich.
“It is no exaggeration to say that the world’s richest people cause the present and future deaths of the less fortunate and less developed nations and people.”
The group added that they “taken this action to render the large greenhouse gas-emitting vehicles unusable.”
No arrests were made after the incident, according to the Boston Herald, however a Boston police officer visited several of the victims following reports of vandalism.
“I came out around 6:30 a.m. to take my dog to Angell for medical treatment and was surprised to see my tire was flat,” a resident told NBC Boston.
“I know another person in the neighborhood. He’s a firefighter and couldn’t come to the station and that’s frustrating,” added another.
“There are a lot of people here who work in the hospital and couldn’t get to work on time.”
Since its inception in March 2022, the group says it has deflated over 10,000 SUV tires.
When the group arrived in New York last year, an anonymous representative for the vandals told : “We will be on strike in major cities across America as autonomous groups are formed to take action.”

According to the group’s website, it’s a leaderless organization that aims to “make SUV ownership impossible” while offering advice on “deflating a tire”.
The group’s leaderless nature was also highlighted by the group following their vandalism in New York.
“That’s the beauty of this movement – it’s leaderless,” the zealots claimed.
“Nobody gives orders or controls it. It only takes one person to print out our flyer and buy some lenses. How do we plan the implementation? It’s very simple and anyone can do it. Which is why we never get caught.”
