Ridiculous tactics and I won't blame anyone for beating the shit out of one of these people with a bat if they get caught.
While I don't agree with their mischief (legal definition which includes property damage), it's not "for some reason" as if the negative externalities of SUVs were unknown.
* greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists in collisions
* greater likelihood of mot seeing those pedestrians and cyclists in the first place
* higher emissions & pollution
* greater wear and tear to roads
I mean, all of those things are true, but SUVs seem benign next to pickup trucks, and as far as I can tell, they ignored those.
It's a stupid campaign in any case; what is the best possible outcome this group thinks is going to come from this?
