From the article: *Large SUVs were particularly affected. According to the police, notes were attached to the cars indicating that they were harmful to the climate. The tyres were not punctured, but merely deflated. The cars were parked in the area between the S-Bahn line and Elbchaussee around Kanzleistraße. *

Personally, I like this protest way more than glueing themselves to the streets, causing traffic jams where cars burn gasoline for hours and ambulances / firefighters / police gets stuck, putting innocent life in danger.

The article is in German. Warning: this link leads to google translate.

car fetishistic troglodytes

You could have made your point without this little bit- you're perhaps unintentionally pushing away people who aren't as familiar with hamburg who saw this action and thought "why do this when car pollution is such a tiny contributor as compared to emissions by big companies".

    I agree with the approach of changing the industry first, because changing the consumer behavior first is impossible. There are simply too many car fetishistic troglodytes who simply don´t give a fuck about mother nature.
