Irritating environmental protesters
 

Crazy nutty out of control environmental protesters around the world.

You may have seen these nuts on your news sources. Throwing paint and stuff on museum paintings. Barricading roads. Protests. AND… gluing hands and feet etc to roads or floors.

Current example at the US Open tennis tournament in NY last night. A 40 minute delay due to protesters in the stands screaming etc. 4 idiots. One actually glued their feet to the floor. So play disrupted due to these out of control crazies.

What do they accomplish? And who funds these nut jobs. OK protest to your hearts content but do NOT impact others.

If I was in charge last night, kick the 3 out of the stadium as they did. And leave the glued-feet nut job right there all night. Sweep the floor around them. Bye bye. Idiots.

The answer is to arrest and prosecute them, and give them a long prison sentence. But, today there is very little accountability for people who commit crimes.

Arrest and prosecute and keep the glued idiot there until he can get himself off the floor.

They got themselves on the news - that's probably exactly what they wanted to accomplish.

Agree - protest all you want but do not impact others. Some will see the news and start following them; I will see them impacting others and become determined to not give them the satisfaction.

Have gag him. Also need to go after who funding them as accessories.

I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse. IMO got to go after who funding them as accessories. Take money away and the protest will evaporate.

If they knew they were going to spend 5 to 10 years in prison, do you really think they would be protesting illegally?

What about the crazy kids putting graffiti on national monuments? Their excuse goes something like this. I had no idea the Collosseum was a historical monument nor how old it was. My deepest and sincere apologies to all Italians. What did they think they were visiting? Universal Studios or Disneyland? If I was there, I would have bought them more glue giving the police more time to arrive. Then sat back and watched in amusement.

Not defending some of the examples you site, but how effective exactly is protest which doesn't impact others?

100% agree

defunding the police is the insanity that prevents law & order - guess who champions that movement, God help us

Except that they won't, and they know it.

Cornball shenanigans have always been a time-honored method of calling attention to some "cause" or other. A few years back, in Minnesota and (I believe) North Dakota, a few scruffy treehuggers got themselves in the news by chaining themselves to various implements and structures which were to be used to replace a deteriorating oil pipeline. I believe that some of the protesters even chained themselves to a fence at the Minnesota Capitol building in St. Paul. Never quite saw the logic in protesting against replacing an existing proven leaky pipeline with new sound one, but in any case the scruffy bunch got their usual drooling media coverage. I remember the outcry against their antics , but it didn't matter. There were certainly enough chargeable crimes in that entire mess to keep local courtrooms busy for quite awhile. But aside from droning a few platitudes and administering a few slaps on the wrists, the local law did nothing, and things just dragged on--and on--and on.

Maybe some things are still pending. I don't know. But you can bet the farm that the more time passes, the less likely anything will be done to address the various crimes that these folks engaged in.

Well let us see……maybe we should protest them and their individual actions and I guess to be effective we would then have to “impact” them severely. But then we for the most part are civilized and respectful of others. As I said….for the most part or at least most times unless provoked

A couple of yahoos actually hurting the message about Global Warming they were trying to send.

Looks like there were four of these protesters.

The party that stormed the Capitol? Hurt 140 police officers? Smeared feces on the hallowed halls?

Most anti-democratic countries like communist China, and fascist Russia, don’t allow their citizens the full freedom of protesting. They end up in prison. Be careful for what you ask for taking away one’s freedom of protest. It’s the core of great democracy. It doesn’t matter if you agree, or disagree with what they are protesting about. Cheer their right to disagree and get attention towards their passion.
