Extinction Rebellion Uses Fire Engine To Shoot Blood At British Treasury

October 3, 2019 – 2:37 pm

And they’re very surprised that the leader and a few others are facing charges

(Fox News) British police arrested four members of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion on Thursday after they used a fire engine to spray the U.K.’s Treasury building with hundreds of gallons of fake blood.

The group said it carried out the protest because it wanted to raise awareness of the “inconsistency between the U.K. government’s insistence that the U.K. is a world leader in tackling climate breakdown while pouring vast sums of money into fossil exploration and carbon-intensive projects,” according to Sky News.

But their latest stunt had some mishaps.

Organizers said they sprayed 1,800 liters of red liquid colored with food dye at the Treasury building, yet most of it appeared to have ended up on the street and sidewalk, Sky News reports. At another point, the protesters lost control of the decommissioned fire engine’s hose, it added.

The Met Police later said it arrested three men and one woman on suspicion of criminal damage and that there were no injuries stemming from the incident.

I used the Fox article because it was the most recent, most UK sources were about 5 hours ago (at the time I wrote this for posting later). But, even newer from the Met Police

The question now is “will the judiciary let them go?” They’ve let others go scott free, much like most of the folks involved in vandalizing Confederate statues have had charges dropped, how Antifa nutters involved in violence and criminal intimidation have been let go (those the police even bothered arresting), etc.

One has to wonder what polling would tell us about whether this helps or hurts the insane moonbat Warmists.
