"A number of cars in Melbourne’s southeast have had their tyres deflated by an environmental activist group.

Up to 20 four-wheel drives and SUVs near Tintern Ave, Toorak were targeted on Thursday night and Friday morning."

Makes you wonder how ape they would go if they knew about this:

No it wasn't me

ozpacman · 01-09-2023, 07:44 PM

I'd love the opportunity to offer some meaningful counselling to an activist I caught letting my tyres down...

**mad2** · 01-09-2023, 08:13 PM

at least they weren't drilled like over in the good 'ol usa......

MITCHAY · 01-09-2023, 09:30 PM

As a I said in the other thread, can't wait for them to be caught and flogged

prydey · 02-09-2023, 03:18 PM

If the group have admitted responsibility, surely they can be charged?

It's vandalism and a crime so not sure why they aren't already in custody.

They should make examples out of them. If it goes unchecked it will only escalate.

Police need to grow some.

to charge 'someone' .. they would need to workout who..

and yes it will 'escalate' no end.

Surely an organisation that conducts illegal activities can be held to account?

A company car that gets caught speeding subjects that company to a punishment unless they give up the individual. Surely a similar course of action exists?

Reading how the various states treat this interference is interesting, I think the reason
they go for deflating tyres is to avoid malicious damage, this could be fixed if every state
got together and made it a fine of say, $500 per tyre deflated, something that stings a bit
but also put a good behaviour bond in there of say 6 months and $2,000.

Note how keen the police are to do something about this one, if it happened in the Western suburbs you'd get laughed out the police station reporting this

I still think that flogging is more appropriate.

I wonder who would face charges if you caught the person on your property and 'persuaded' them to leave, in such a way that they need to call for a ride home due to being unable to move themselves...

If you're on someone's property uninvited, and the property owner assaults you (because they feared for their life), I wonder who would be painted as the criminal?

This guy beat an intruder with a bat, who eventually died

Quote:

Mr Cox was beaten with a baseball bat and was incapacitated on the floor, where Holland then raped him.

His body was found at the scene under a pile of blankets a day later by police, who arrived at the property on an unrelated matter.

He was hogtied, his mouth was duct taped and his pants were pulled down to his upper thighs.

In March, a jury convicted Holland of one charge of rape, but he was found not guilty of manslaughter.

https://www.sheppnews.com.au/nationa...ruder-in-home/

He got off on the manslaughter charge, but convicted for the rape on the intruder, the only reason he got convicted for the rape was he bragged about it to others.

This was a burglary gone wrong (for the home intruder), if you beat someone who let down your tyres I'd say the courts would take a very dim view on the situation.

But hey I've seen a guy who beat his ex wife to a pulp who had an AVO out against him score $550 and a no conviction recorded for it in my local Magistrates Court, so maybe you could do a number on the tyre deflators at a great price

What price would we all put on it to be able to send the tyre deflators on a trip to the ICU? I'd be happy with a no conviction recorded and donate $3000 to Fines Victoria.

**kypez** · 02-09-2023, 07:11 PM

Wonder if SUVs are the target or the drive type? Will they target EV SUVs next? V8'S?

Don't go there, the law can be an a** at times not being in your favour.

prydey · 02-09-2023, 08:23 PM

I wasn't thinking anything extreme like the examples given, nor would I ever resort to violence myself.

I just find it frustrating that these groups can't get shut down, even though they are trespassing and damaging property and could even cause serious injury if the owner of the vehicle wasn't aware their tyres had been deflated.

Yet if the property owner decided to take action it's a fair chance they'd become the offending party. Mostly with swift action from authorities.

People take matters in to their own hands because the laws seem to protect the wrong people.

I am waiting for the day when the majority take the world back.

Minority groups are running riot and the time is coming when they will all be put back in their place.

The climate on earth has been changing since day 1 in both directions.

How do these peanuts think the last ice age ended. That is some serious climate change.

It certainly wasn't because of man or large SUV's.

Not to digress but the issue is that we have a small window to exist within and if the world is naturally changing, it would be silly of us to add to the change and speed our extinction up.

The planet will be fine. We won't be.

Love this guy

That’s right after they’ve been keel hauled, then strung up, drawn and quartered. Even that’s too good for them. Arseholes.

Were the valves removed or loosened, or just the air released?

There was people on r/Melbourne on Reddit advocating to do this to American ute owners and linking to the valve core removal tool to buy.

This mindset is spreading, I'm expecting to see more of this sort of low level assholery from the intelligentsia.

I'd say most people are just holding the valve in, you'd have to be a special kind of knob to remove the valve.

Citroënbender · 02-09-2023, 10:20 PM

What did most of the people whose cars were affected, do?

Were the cars towed to workshops, or was the road service doing call-outs?

Some tyre contractor was called in and by the sounds of things he was really busy, I think all the locals wasted no time using his services.

If you thinking of retribution just don't get recognised & caught, make sure you give them something not to forget..... lol

Didnt the iceage end because the wooly mammoth was driving a supercharged big block Monaro to work everyday and the cavemans wife run the aircon all the time in the cave?

CyberWasp · 03-09-2023, 08:33 PM

Every time they deflate a street of tyres just use a petrol / diesel powered generator to power an air compressor to pump them back up again.
