Funny thing is - the adhesive they used to glue themselves to the wall was - get this - developed by - yep - the OIL INDUSTRY!

Send them to europe for the winter, and let them see what a world with no petroleum products is like.

Hopefully they took the painting down and left those dumbasses glued to the wall. Put a guard on them and then let them rip their skin off the wall.

The security should have showed up with bats and just left them there.

I heard a blurb on drive in, that natural gas is being considered for a "green" energy. LOl, these dumbasses are late to the party. Wonder if natural gas is green, or dumbass green politicians know they had better do something or lose politically.

Yep.

Second, what is a 'climate activist?' I don't get it at all.

I am aware there is a climate, just as I'm aware of gravity/various natural laws/things. But I've never considered going out to be a 'gravity activist' making sure people know I care about gravity more than they do.

Next time I'll volunteer to glue for them... but they may not like their lips, eyelids, and earholes glued shut.


The gallery should just leave them glued to the wall and film them trying to extract themselves. I'd pay to watch that.

Now that is some art I could support.

Bet when they are released, they head for Starbucks, then head to McDonalds for cheeseburgers-- no lettuce or tomatoes-- they just eat carbs, dairy and protein. They take a sheet once a week. No wonder they feel bad and act stupid, and dont realize they use plenty fossill fuels to live their miserable lives.

Also, I'd pants them or do other things that would make them struggle to unglue themselves or embarass themselves...

Draw dicks on their foreheads or strip them down or put bags over their heads or something.

Could use some glue...

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Just Stop Oil activists throw tomato soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers at the National Gallery | Daily Mail Online
Quote:

Two Just Stop Oil protesters who threw Heinz tomato soup at Van Gogh's Sunflowers in the National Gallery in central London have been arrested for criminal damage and aggravated trespass, the Metropolitan Police said.

The duo - named by the pressure group as Anna Holland, 20, and 21-year-old Phoebe Plummer - threw two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the iconic 76 million painting this morning before gluing themselves to a wall inside the Gallery.



Quote:

The protesters were put in a police van at the back entrance of the gallery and were taken into custody to a central London police station.

The National Gallery has confirmed that the painting was unharmed apart from 'minor damage' to the frame.

Art historian Ruth Millington told MailOnline: 'I think that attacking one of the world's most loved paintings, which I would call priceless, will not gain these protestors public support. That is what which they need in order to effect real change.

'What has happened today provides a perfect example of why the painting is protected by glass, luckily.'

Activist Anna Holland, 20, from Newcastle said: 'UK families will be forced to choose between heating or eating this winter, as fossil fuel companies reap record profits.

'But the cost of oil and gas isn't limited to our bills. Somalia is now facing an apocalyptic famine, caused by drought and fuelled by the climate crisis.

'Millions are being forced to move and tens of thousands face starvation. This is the future we choose for ourselves if we push for new oil and gas.'
Chop off just one hand and this bull**** ends.

How the hell do you get soup into a museum?

The should just pants these people and then have them stuck there naked publicly for a day or two. You would get one lawsuit out of it, but it would stop immediately.

Just a couple of sad-sack white kids looking for meaning to their existence.

This is what happens when kids don't have Jesus in their lives.

I am not into "art", but I am inot "cool old stuff" and if someone beat those tow asshats into the ICU, I'd have a tough time not smiling over it. What a self entitled disrespectful little ass. Their daddy's should have beat their ass a lot more as toddlers.

I know the painting is ok but I support their beating just for the intent.

As it should be.

The fact that natural gas and nuclear are villainized by these types shows you they're not actually serious.

Being glued to a wall is kind of like a modern-day stockade, and these idiots did it willingly. Public shaming used to be a punishment, now it's activism. Clown world.

Speaking of public shaming, I absolutely think we should return to this. Mockery is a powerful weapon against stupid activism. It's one of the reasons the left hates Trump so much, because his mean tweets are actually mockery of their ideology and actions and the narcissistic left can't handle getting their egos crushed.

Thats what I'm saying. Let them stay glued, but remove everything that they are wearing and leave them there until they beg you to take them down.

Would stop it from ever happening again.

Went to the National Gallery this summer and saw that painting. I'm not a fine art aficionado, but I really enjoyed going through the gallery.

Maybe somebody should tell the one on the left that her pink hair dye is over 90% petrochemical products.

Can we just staple them to the wall instead?
