Promoting destruction of property and intimidation has no place in civil society.

  Just putting on a bull bar on a big truck/SUV in a city center itself isn't destruction of property or intimidation even if it may lead to that. It might actually intimidate some people walking around at street level if they knew how mangled up in it you can get caught, but the vast majority aren't even aware.

  It doesn't matter because there is no such activist group and vandalization of SUVs is not a common crime. Such a high percentage of cars are SUVs that it wouldn't even be sending a coherent message.

    There absolutely are such vandal groups. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31939177 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31939177

      So this guy says "there are activist groups," and your evidence is this website: https://www.tyreextinguishers.com/news?slug=tyre-extinguishers-in-first-new-york-city-action-40-suvs-hit-in-upper-east-side https://www.tyreextinguishers.com/news?slug=tyre-extinguishe... They claim only to have damaged 40 cars one time. There's no evidence they did that, no public outcry in New York, and no corroborating evidence at all. Again, there is no movement like this. There has not been a spike in vandalism against SUVs. I work with auto insurance data in my day job, and changes in damage to parked SUVs hasn't notably changed.
