Got to love how the Volkswagen museum handled several of them recently:

Eco-warriors have been staging stunts and disruptions throughout Europe in an attempt to influence governments to take action against climate change, including throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting and blocking highways.

The most recent act was when a group of eco-warriors from the group “Scientist Rebellion” glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen museum and showroom in Germany and demanded the German government reduce the maximum speed limit of 62mph.

What the protesters did not expect was when it was time to close, the staff left them inside for the night without any lighting, heat, food, or access to a restroom.

“They refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating,” says protester Giancluca Grimalda.

I remember during in-processing briefing when I lived in Germany being told not to F around with German Police. Basically, get smart with them and you will likely get a smack to the mouth or worse.

Works for me.

same with the kids who splashed paint on art.

its controlled opposition (ie, its designed to make anti-oil people look dumb).

NO ONE believes that.
Not even you.

They chained themselves inside the Porsche Museum.
Porsche let them stay and turned off the lights and said "good night".
Then they sued for not being given food and potty breaks. judge laughed.

The ironic thing is that Porsche literally had the first hybrid on the market.

half of them have parents who are mid level government officials and business leaders. junior is just acting out and gets a slap on the wrist.

Yes, this.

And with my sister, terminal with cancer, if my mother needs me for any reason to help, you bet that I won't slow down for the speed bumps. Hell, I might have to trade Pepper in on one of these.

Most activists are desperately trying to convince themselves
and others that they are not the terribly shallow and flawed
people that deep down they know they are.

I have to disagree. I think the very best way to, at best, not be heard is to annoy other people. At worst, annoying and pissing off other people will set them against whatever cause one might be championing.

Last time I checked, the Constitution says we have
the right to peaceably assemble and the right to free speech.

Nowhere does it say that civil disobedience or interfering
with the rights of others is legal. It isn't.
The only reason it exists is because bleeding hearts allowed
it back when it was benefiting their agenda.

People who commit crimes in the act of protesting should
be immediately prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

They really should be blocking the driveways of the lawmakers. All this is doing is alienating the public.

Not exactly a bunch of rockets scientists......:rolleyes:

Don't argue with stupidity and don't feed the trolls.

Gotta give the biker credit for not unleashing on the lady grabbing at him! She deserved a good kick in the groin for that BS!

They even block an ambulance on its way to the hospital. Thankfully the cops were there.

I am really surprise not too many people will just kick their azz out and hurt them. I watched a few of these vid but can't no longer do it. These people just grind my gears. Sad that the public, police, and law makers allow them to do this. EVen more sad is that many are older folks. Old folks are generally much smarter or reasonable.

I wish the trolls here would consider the above thought.

They should have cut a much bigger piece. Maybe an extra 10 pounds. It will take about the same amount of work to patch a larger hole as a smaller one but the moron would have had a much heavier reminder of his stupidity.
