    I heard cars with those decals have too much air in their tires.

    Do them a favor and let some out

      These fucking chuds would wipe their ass with the flag if they thought it would “own the libs”, they don’t give a fuck about country or civic duty.

      This flag is called “Thin Blue Line”, which is a pro-police symbol. The origin is from the thought that supposedly the only thing keeping peaceful society insulated from total anarchy is a “thin blue line”, or a small number of law enforcement officers who voluntarily put themselves between the two.

      However, as noble as the origin sounds, the flag itself is only a modern artistic creation that can trace it’s actual creation to the counter-protest of the “Black Lives Matter” movement in support of the police (the ones who were the subject of accusations of racial bias and discrimination against blacks in America) and it often interpreted as a racist dogwhistle, supporting acts of police brutality, extrajudicial killings, and authoritarianism in general.

      It’s a pretty right-wing affiliated symbol and you see it in conjunction with a lot of other conservative virtue signaling, iconography, and stereotypes.

      The thin blue line is a symbol for the police. Used in the UK and US.

      As a reaction to Black Lives Matter protests against racist police brutality, the (far-)right coined the term Blue Lives Matter to protest violence against the police.

      Of course, the whole thing is disingenious. They support the police because the police in the US are often racist and they like that the police disproportionately beat up black people. When rioters stormed the US capital after Trump lost the election, plenty were waving blue lives flags, and didn’t actually seem to care that much about endangering the police guarding the building.

      TLDR hyper-partisan US political virtue signaling associated with the far-right.

      Bootlickers say they support the police with it. The same police that kill innocent people with no knock warrants and face little repercussion.

      It’s the blue life matters flag used by right wingers to show support to police who are fighting the black lifes matter movement.

    On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the “Thin Blue Line” is pure idiocy, I don’t think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.

    You can’t siphon a trucks gas just because it has a blue line flag. Most modern cars have an anti-siphon valve, so that causes issues.

    Instead, you locate the fuel tank and drill a small hole in it. That way you can let the fuel collect in a tub or jug. On lifted trucks this is even easier. Drill the hole, pop a large jug under it, perhaps use a small rubber hose or funnel.

    Remember to leave them a little note that you’ve drilled a hole, so they can go get it repaired and not leak fuel everywhere attempting to refill it.

    Step 1. Poop in a bag.
    Step 2. Grab the bag from the bottom and pull it inside out so it’s now acting as a poop glove.
    Step 3. Shove the poop under their door handle and then use the bag to wipe excess visible poop away.

    They might not know it’s because of their boot licking but they sure as hell will start thinking about things a little more.

    Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is pretty sour, and bootlicker gas… tastes pretty good!
