The original intent of the hummer was to take a licking and keep on ticking. These weak-ass flashy hummers that people buy and never go off-roading with are a scourge. If he'd gotten a propper hummer, this would be a non-issue.
The intent of buying any fancy automobile for most people is pretension. Whether that be a Viper or a Hummer is irrelevant. Either way, vandalization is repugnant.
It's definitely a fine line. I'd personally never buy a Hummer for a variety of reasons (some being ecological, I guess). At the same time, fucking up somebody's new car as a "message" is just detrimental to their cause from a publicity standpoint (unless that particular "message" is "we are organized crime and you owe us money" or something along those lines).
It's 5am E.S.T. and I'm getting kind of scattered, obviously.
This is totally the wrong way about doing things. Like this 1 dude with the Hummer can help change ecological and environmental laws. If you really want to make a difference, write your congressmen or maybe try to run for office. Destroying one's personal property is asinine.
"Groves said he believes it was done by kids 'and they were using that message as a cover."'
Haha, good one.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate vandalism, but Hummers are completely irrelevent to someone living in suburban Washington. Still though, what they did is wrong.
...even though I hate Hummers and everything they stand for. Compensating bastards.
those people were retarded so what if hummers are stupid cars for living in suburban washington you still don't fuck with people cars just because you don't like that they are enviromenlly conscious like a friggin hybrid
