When you’re being violent and intentionally vandalizing property can you even be called a protester?
Extinction Rebellion: Climate protesters block roads
Climate change protesters have blocked roads across central London sparking traffic disruption.
Members of campaign group Extinction Rebellion have also parked a boat at Oxford Circus, and blocked Marble Arch, as part of a global day of action.
Activists smashed the glass of the revolving doors of oil company Shell’s London headquarters in Waterloo. (snip)
Extinction Rebellion said protests would continue throughout the week “escalating the creative disruption across the capital day by day”.
The group said it planned to “bring London to a standstill for up to two weeks”, and wanted the government to take urgent action to tackle climate change.
By intentionally causing more than £6,000 damage at the Shell headquarters activists aim to get the case into crown court to put their case to a jury, the campaign said.
They aren’t protesters, they’re criminals, not too mentioning causing massive problems for people trying to move around London.
Simon Bramwell, who was glued to a revolving door at @Shell, said: "Shell has known about the impact the fossil fuel industry is having on our planet for decades. They've done nothing but deceive, lie and undermine any efforts at transition to renewables." #extinctionrebellion pic.twitter.com/efAb6QO7C0

Complete nutballs
(UK Guardian) Protesters also shattered a glass revolving door at the headquarters of the fossil fuel company Shell and smeared its facade with graffiti and black paint. Hundreds of people soon stopped to watch as the protest outside Shell continued. Two activists climbed above the entrance, writing “Shell knew†and “Shell knowsâ€. Activists said at least one arrest had been made.
Jessica Sirois, from Chicago, Illinois, was not impressed. “Why make a point by doing that? That’s graffiti,†she said. “if they were in a lot of other countries they would be in prison for that.â€
They’d be in more trouble if they made mean remarks on social media.
The campaign cites the civil rights and suffragette movements as inspiration and is backed by senior scientists and academics, including the former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
Right, right, this is the same as blacks wanting equal rights and women wanting the vote. F*cktards.
