Self-righteous Savagery October 10, 2005
Posted by Resident Egoist in : Culture, Ecology , comments closedVia FEE — The Los Angeles Times reports:
Paris, France — Under cover of night, [environmentalists and anti-SUV activists] target Jeep Cherokees, Porsche Cayennes and other four-wheel-drive vehicles parked on the tree-lined avenues and cobblestoned lanes of wealthy neighborhoods. The eco-guerrillas deflate tires without damaging them, smear doors with mud and paste handbills on windshields proclaiming that the vehicles are dangerous, polluting behemoths that do not belong in the city. [Emphasis mine.]
So, vehicles are the ones “that do not belong in the city” eh? Well, read what follows:
“We use the mud to say that if the owners will not take the four-wheel-drives to the countryside, we will bring the countryside to the four-wheel-drives,” said Marrant, 28, [the leader of the "eco-guerrilla" group].
No further comment.
