Warning - Activist Group Around Denmark, TN Destroying Truck Tires On Many Trucks

A friend just shared this with me, hope these crazy evil people are caught.

Crazy and scary if true. Honest question though, how does one damage ("cut," "stab," etc) a tire, especially the sidewall, without causing a critical failure (i.e. explosion) and risking severe injury or death to the person damaging said tire?

I've witnessed tire failures/explosions on the road and there is no way I'd want to be anywhere near that tire by stabbing or cutting it. I just can't imagine any sane person thinking that a good idea either.

And I would imagine all it would take is one such explosion to wake every driver nearby to come scrambling to find out what the heck is going on.

The report is true, and there is video of the suspect damaging the tires. I'm just gobsmacked that anyone would risk their life and limb to cause such damage. And to what end?

It is true. Last month they hit a bunch of tires on I-30 in Arkansas. I had just left the TA there, and the next day i saw it on Youtube.

Prime had several tires punctured and told us to avoid the areas. Easier said than done.
