Title: FOR THE ENVIRON - Hummer Eco-Vandals Post by: dystopia on July 19, 2007, 04:19:20 PM Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message Vandals Batter D.C. Man's SUV, Slash Its Tires and Scratch In an Eco Note http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/17/AR2007071701808.html Quote 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." "The thought of somebody vandalizing it never crossed my mind," said Gareth Groves, 32, who lives with his mother in a three-story home in the 4300 block of Brandywine Street NW in American University Park. "I've kind of been in shock." Now, as Groves ponders what to do with the remains of his $38,000 SUV, he has been the target of a number of people who have driven by the crime scene in his upscale neighborhood and glared at him in smug satisfaction. "I'd say one in five people who come by have that 'you-got-what-you-deserve' look," said his friend Andy ****ton, 27, who is visiting from Arkansas and has been helping Groves deal with fallout from the crime. more...

*bunghole*s! "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, or the car they drive, but by the content of their character." For with what judgment ye judge, (So shall) ye be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again I hate the HumVee, and all that it stands for, but to vandalize a persons property to such hatred excess in a pious attempt at a stance.........I see these pricks as lazy, and cowards. You believe in something strongly? Fine. Work for it. Destroy something I work for, and pay money for? You're no different than common criminals, and racists. |
