Young Man’s Brand New Hummer Gets Vandalized in D.C...by Environmentalist Thugs

By Mairead

Gareth Groves recently bought a brand new, steel grey Hummer. Because of the car’s massive size, he had to park it on the street in front of the home that he shares with his mother in Northwest Washington. The Hummer sat on the street being loathed by neighbors
who drove their environment-friendly Prius. Unfortuanately, the car only lasted five days out on the street. Around 3 a.m. Monday morning, two masked men took bats to the car’s windows and body, slashed all four tires, and scratched the message “For The Environ” into the side panel.
Groves says that he never expected something like this to happen, even though he knew that his neighbors were less than pleased to see his new car. He also says that now, when neighbors drive by, he can see the smug “you-got-what-you-deserve” looks on their faces.
Many of the neighbors admit that they were all but pleased when they saw his new purchase, but they are then very quick to say that they do not condone violence and vandalism.
As for Groves, he is now trying to decide what to do with what remains of his $38,000 car. Sharing Groves shock are the local police, who say that while they do see some vandalism in the area, they haven’t seen anything like this in years.
