SUV’s Owners Deflated by Ruling

The title caught my attention. But the article was even more fascinating as the Brussels Journal did a follow up on a gang’s activity. This year there were a number of SUV’s tires being deflated as a protest. Each night there might have been 100 SUV’s whose tires were deflated.

Leave it to the ‘eco-terrorists’ to find a creative way to garner attention and avoid police intervention. The argument was that the ‘theft of air’ isn’t illegal. Since the cars were not damaged the police refused to register complaints. The newest development was Belgian’s minister of ‘justice’ (?) confirms that deflating tires isn’t a crime. One might argue that hate crime laws might apply since the ‘eco-terrorists’ hate SUV’s and their owners. But we know those terms are agenda driven and not meant to secure justice. The SUV owners would disagree with the ruling and am sure they are deflated by the decision.
