Eco-zealots have dramatically returned to the US to wreak havoc on Boston as they slashed forty-three tires on luxury SUVs in the name of climate activism. Residents in the sleepy community of Beacon Hill became the latest victims of the maddening mob, who dub themselves the 'Tyre Extinguishers'. The climate-zealots have infuriated motorists on both sides of the Atlantic by purposefully deflating the tires on family vehicles, before leaving a condescending note telling their victims: 'Your gas guzzler kills'. Striking early in the morning before their targets are awake, the group exclusively deflates SUVs, which they feel 'cause more air pollution' and 'are more likely to kill people'. After their overnight East Coast attack Thursday, residents woke up to find a patronizing letter telling them despite their tires being slashed, 'You will have no difficulty getting around without your gas guzzler, with walking, cycling or public transit.' The return of the group to the US comes after the fanatics previously bragged they will 'never be caught' The environmental agitators struck Boston for the first time Thursday, but in September the group celebrated its As well as marking their usual territory in the UK, innocent drivers in nations including France, Germany, Czech Republic and Norway also 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'. Carrying out the attack in the name of an 'emergency', the group says its reason for slashing the tires is because larger vehicles are 'a disaster for our climate'. 'We're taking actions into our own hands because our governments and politicians will not', adds the letter, with SUVs the apparent main issue because, in part, 'psychological studies show SUV drivers are more likely to take risks on the road'. While the vandals claim to not target any electric or hybrid vehicles and avoided those with handicap signs, many people argue the repetitive act could have catastrophic consequences, including for those in a medical emergency. In a blog post following the overnight vandalism in Boston, the Tyre Extinguishers said they specifically chose the Beacon Hill community because it is 'one of the wealthiest neighborhoods' in the area. The group said that the opulent community was targeted because 'the climate crisis is an environmental justice issue and the solutions to the crisis must prioritize marginalized and poor demographics and primarily reduce the emissions from the worlds wealthy. 'It is not an exaggeration to say that the richest individuals in the world are causing the current and future deaths of the less fortunate and less developed nations and people.' The group added that they 'took this action to render the large greenhouse gas emitting vehicles unusable'. No arrests were made after the incident, per the , however a Boston police officer did visit several of the victims following reports of vandalism. 'I came out about 6:30 a.m. to take my dog to a medical treatment at Angell and I was surprised to see my tire was flattened,' one resident told . 'I know another person in the neighborhood. Hes a firefighter and he couldnt get to the station and thats frustrating,' added another. 'There are plenty of people here who work at the hospital and couldnt get to work on time.' Since its founding in March 2022, the group has claimed to have deflated over 10,000 SUV tires. When the group hit New York last year, an anonymous representative for the vandals told DailyMail.com: 'We will be striking in major cities all across America as autonomous groups are formed to take action.' According to the group's website, it is a leaderless organization that wants to make 'owning an SUV impossible', while also offering advice on 'How to deflate a tyre'. The leaderless nature of the group was also highlighted by the group after their New York vandalism. 'That's the beauty of this movement - it is leaderless,' the zealots claimed. 'Nobody gives orders or controls it. All it takes is one person to print our leaflet and buy some lentils. How do we plan on executing it? It's very simple and anyone can do it. Which is why we will never be caught.'
