Teens held for smashing 'decadent' SUVs
'Environmental guerrillas' vandalize almost 50 sport utility vehicles
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.

This isn't a major story, but I do have one point to make.
Is anyone willing to bet that these people are 100% against the Patriot Act because they say it violates their rights? But they feel as though
you shouldn't have the right to spend
your money on whatever
you want to drive.... Does this make any sense at all? Of course not.
