 | H-Town fool, Teens held for smashing 'decadent' SUVs
Teens held for smashing 'decadent' SUVs 'Environmental guerrillas' vandalize almost 50 sport utility vehicles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: January 29, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A teenage self-described environmental guerrilla led a group of peers in vandalizing almost 50 sport utility vehicles in Houston, police charge. According to the Houston Chronicle, local law-enforcement authorities say the group, led by Randall W. Heinrichs, 18, smashed windows and slashed tires on SUVs in north Harris County, Texas, from October through December. Capt. Rick Brass says Heinrichs "talks about how [SUVs] are environmentally unfriendly [and] decadent," the paper reported. The officer says the teenager has a "personal hatred" for sport utility vehicles. Heinrichs is on probation for felony arson in a flag-burning case. While Heinrichs was nabbed Jan. 9, two other teenage suspects were arrested Tuesday. The ringleader is being held without bail because of his arson probation. The other suspects had bail set at $5,000. A fourth suspect was expected to turn himself in to authorities. The lone female in the group, Lindsey Garofano, 18, told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity, the Chronicle reported.

being someone who has to travel with a large entourage, constantly move shit, etc. etc. I really have no problem with this but its the moms using them simply for groceries who drive on their cell phones putting my life at risk with their 10 ton tank 2 feet from my rear bumper and hiking up gas prices while thinking they're patriotic that get me vexed and yes I fucking hate rediculously sized pickup trucks especially the red neck ones with the monster truck wheels | |

So Keith - shall we send all SUV purchase requests through your office to dtermine if they buyer should be permitted to own one? Also - how do they hike up gas prices? They consume more gasoline - which helps drive the price down. Please I can agree with you that as a pretty solid rule I think these vehicles suck - but come on | |

So we're going to negate laws and beat the fuck out of people's cars? How about starting a grass roots lobbyist group and pull together larges sums of money across the nation and lobby congress... But I suppose beating the fuck out of one or two suvs and getting arrested is worth the 15 seconds of fame on the local houston news network ... might get one or two people to think to themselves... hmmm.. wonder why they did that?

That'd be the end of the argument if all the gas in the world was sitting in one finite pile that continued to shrink.....but such is not the case. If demand goes up - and if cost (price) goes with it - the drive for others to get in the market goes up - increasing production and lowering costs. My comment that SUVs drive the cost down is no more valid than the allegation that they drive it up. It is one insignificant factir in determining price. | |

I'm not sure I necessarily buy the argument, just spelling it out.

We are buying less and laess from OPEC nations. In fact relatively cheap Russian oil in the 90s was one of the causes of the financial boom - oil glut economies do well. Agreed - oil economics are weird - the market has static demand issues as well as the articifial supply problem. At the end of the day however, to blame the SUV on gas prices going up is absurd.....the causes for increases in price at the pump cannot be said to be a result of more SUVs on the road....one may argue that they are a factor - an amazingly minor factor - when one tries to figure out why prices go up. | |
