34 4x4's and sports cars 'disarmed'

"Loads of gas guzzling 4x4's and around 10 swanky sports cars were
disarmed last night as part of the 'Fossil Fools' day of action.

We targeted one of Edinburghs' more affluent areas for our April fools
fun!

We chose only rich peoples vehicles to symbolise how the wealthy and
powerful are mainly responsible for the destruction of our planet.

We did the mung bean trick. It was very easy and fun!

Power to the People!

By "disarmed", I assume you mean "vandalised", i.e criminal damage caused. I
hope the perpetrators were arrested and charged.

Letting down tyres on the school run? Wow, that's brave, did they take candy

Doug (Doug riseup.net>) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

That'll be "Criminal Damage", then.

So you committed criminal damage?

How did the protesters get to the areas they targetted?
