Those two oil protesters, who were trying to make their point by throwing soup on a $97 million painting - they were sentenced to 2 years in jail. Yay English law.

My link does not appear to be working.

 

Maybe you need to do a copy and paste.

Glued themselves to the wall.  The museum folks shoulda oughtta just turned off the lights and left 'em there overnight.  I hope that sentence included a diet of only tomato soup for two years.  :angry:

I was thinking a baseball bat applied to their arms might free their hands, and also provide a reminder for the rest of their lives.

I remember something about some protesters in a European car dealership who glued themselves to the floor and the dealership just turned out the lights, closed up and left them there.  👍😁 The protesters were complaining afterwards about how they were treated. 🤣

They wouldn’t like it if I were in charge. 
 

Wood chipper. Chunky tomato looking spray. Televised.  
 

That would probably end inane cause protests of that nature.  
 

Not kidding and no, I don’t care what their families would think. Unless of course they’d like to go on the air and tell others that parent morons that they’d better make their spawn behave.

Climate protesters glue themselves to Porsche museum but needed to go potty

The Autostadt is a VW gem among the Wolfsburg factory complex, with the immense glass storage tower shuffling completed vehicles awaiting delivery and pavilions for Audi, Seat, Lamborghini, and Porsche. This should have made it the perfect place for the back-and-forth, a magnet for police intervention and media.    

 

Instead, staff at the VW museum ignored the playbook. Instead of calling Wolfsburg police immediately, staff "recognized the right to protest," then closed the pavilion for the evening and left — turning off the light and heat as they walked out.

 

The UK outlet Express, likely sick of this happening on its own shores and not inclined to be charitable, wrote that the protestors "pleaded for medical treatment because their hands were sore and moaned that they couldn’t go to the toilet." The paper interviewed one protester who said of staff, "They refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued," and, "We can't order our food, we must use the one provided by Volkswagen. Lights off. Random unannounced checks by security guards with bright torches."

 

What Express left out is that the reason it could interview a protester was because he'd been removed over a potential medical issue and was being held by police. The remaining eight protesters, along with six Scientist Rebellion members who weren't glued, stayed in place through the night to Friday morning. The most recent post on the outfit's Twitter page at the time of writing said police had arrived in the morning to arrest everyone. According to German outlet Welt, "The police then took action against the other activists on Friday. Criminal proceedings were initiated for trespassing, coercion and property damage."

If I heard right another pair of idiots just did the same thing to Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting a few days ago.

 

I like the wood chipper idea.
