Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/17/AR2007071701808_pf.html)


On a narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington, where Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm, one man bought a flashy gray Hummer that was too massive to fit in his garage.

So he parked the seven-foot-tall behemoth on the street in front of his house and smiled politely when his eco-friendly neighbors looked on in disapproval at his "dream car."

It lasted five days on the street before two masked men took a bat to every window, a knife to each 38-inch tire and scratched into the body: "FOR THE ENVIRON."

Even if you don't agree with the owner's choice to purchase a Hummer, it is still his property. Vandalizing it solves nothing...

Like every other self righteous activists, if they can't convince people to see their points of view then they resort to vandalism or violence.

And since when did Volvos become an enviro friendly poster car?

:stupid:

Seriously, that is ridiculous. To retaliate he should drive his hummer over all of the hybrids monster truck style. J/K, kind of.

I don't agree with his choice but it is his property. Vandalizing it actually hurts the environment more. Now those tires have to be put in a landfill or possibly recycled but all of this will occur way before they should have. Plus the vehicle will have to be painted which is not good for the environment.

What I don't understand is how these people think it will help their cause. Way to get the public behind you, guys! Sheesh... :shake:
