So you are equating pointing a gun at someone to shooting them.No one is defending stupid ass protesters slashing tires. It's dumb and criminal. But it's akin to shoplifting, smoking pot, stealing a purse, and the like.
And you don't shoot people for that. Arrest and prosecute? Sure. Point a gun at them, no.

I mean that is one of the gun safety rules, but they are nowhere close to the same thing.
Under your logic I should have about 3 or 4 BLM marches for me the number of times cops have flagged me, intentionally or not.
Minor property crimes? My tires are not inexpensive. I’m sure you’d be ok with the replacement bill but I’d rather deal with it straight on and have no replacement bill.
You ok with people losing their assets so some idiot can make a political point while committing a crime?
BTW are you an officer of the court or a member of the bar?
Since K-town is okay with people vandalizing tires, maybe he would be okay with leaving his car somewhere and letting me slash his tires so he could file an insurance claim?
I think vandalism would be covered, but yeah, just because you have insurance doesn't make stuff free. I carry a $1000 deductible for collision and $500 for comprehensive, so a slashed set of tires would be expensive even if I turned it in on insurance.Would insurance even cover that? If they did I’d assume they would prorate the tires for wear then after 3-4 weeks and paying the deductible you might get $500.

I didnt say I was okay with it. You guys are ridiculous. I just don't think anyone should lose their life for vandalism. To me a life is worth more than 1 or 2k for tires. Not saying people that do it shouldn't be punished. Stop being so simple.Since K-town is okay with people vandalizing tires, maybe he would be okay with leaving his car somewhere and letting me slash his tires so he could file an insurance claim?

'We Will Never Be Caught'
Brazen eco-zealots Tyre Extinguishers are celebrating their expansion into America, after slashing the tires of 40 SUVs in New York City Thursday night and bragging that they'll 'never be caught.'
The movement, which originated in the United Kingdom, seeks to dissuade people from owning SUVs in urban areas, and switch instead to more environmentally-friendly vehicles.
Tyre extinguishers took credit for deflating the tires of 40 SUVs on Manhattan's Upper East Side Thursday.
'BIG NEWS: TYRE EXTINGUISHERS STRIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK CITY!' they tweeted on Tuesday.
The SUVs they vandalized had leaflets let on the windshield, which stated: 'Attention: Your gas guzzler kills'.
When reached by DailyMail.com via e-mail, an anonymous representative for the group said: 'We will be striking in major cities all across America as autonomous groups are formed to take action.'
They made it clear that they aren't going anywhere and they don't believe there's anything anyone can do about it.
'That's the beauty of this movement - it is leaderless. 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.'
The group makes a guide to their method of activism readily available on their website titled: 'How to deflate an SUV tyre.'
