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.
Well, they self-identify as a “Rebellion”.
Much like the Confederacy rebelling against the United States of America.
The Confederates weren’t nuts.
The Confederates were, however, traitors to the United States of America.
Yeah, and they’re all dead. What’s your excuse?
We can see the lack of consistency in Jeffery’s arguments in this simply response.
1) The other day he posted and agreed with an article that talked about violence and the deprivation of rights of people only happens from the right side of the political spectrum. The cited article and the post shows otherwise.
(See also the violation of First Amendment rights by the left recently at the U. Chicago Law School and UMKC and the violence at UMKC.)
2) Jeffery claims the people of the Confederacy were “traitors.”
“Traitor” is a legal conclusion which begs the question “how many people that fought for the Confederacy were convicted of “treason?”
We’ll call this the “Clinton hypocrisy” as Jeffery likes to continually remind people that Hillary Clinton did nothing wrong because she was never convicted of anything.
Funny how hatred can make you intellectually and moral bankrupt.
He’s just getting his kicks by trolling all of you.
gitarcarver,
There is nothing funny about your hatred or your intellectual and moral bankruptcy.
You have taken to lying as much as your brethren.
Sez the little fella who lied about joining the Army.
We already know you have always lied. gitarcarver has devolved over the past year.
Thanks again for the chuckles.
There is nothing funny about your hatred or your intellectual and moral bankruptcy.
You have taken to lying as much as your brethren.
And then:
We already know you have always lied. gitarcarver has devolved over the past year.
Once again, you present no argument to refute the facts of what I said, just more slinging of mud hoping something sticks.
It doesn’t.
Once again, you were the one that said Clinton was not guilty of anything since a court never convicted her. When that same standard is used against your charge of “treason,” you call people liars and say they have “devolved.”
So once again, I’ll use your own tactic: show me where I lied. Show me in these statements where I have lied. You won’t find anything, therefore your statement is false.
As to your statement that the right engages in violence, when examples of leftist violence and trampling of rights is shown, your response is that someone is a liar.
Lacking any facts and moral or intellectual honesty, you simply lash out.
Lashing out is what people who have nothing but hate do.
Nice try! Clinton? LOL.
Wrong.
They had legitimate grievances which Lincoln didn’t want to address and they exercised their right to secede.
Southern whites wanted to keep slaves – the southern “way of life”.
It’s safe to say most secessionists hate the US.
F*cktards indeed.
I suggest that all the fossil fuel companies cease operations. I want to see what these people do without their cell phones, internet and Starbucks lattes.
I want to see what they do when the supermarkets are empty, they are starving and blaming this on trump. CO2 production could drop to zero and these people would still be protesting cows and dogs and cats. They would want Trumps tax returns and blame everything on Trump and the 3 percent of the world who dont believe what they believe.
I hereby am standing in solidarity with these nutters. Right after I buy a couple years worth of MRE’s.
While it is debatable if “shell knew”, it is certain that this guy believes he knows. Therefore, it is inexcusable for him to continue using electricity or anything produced using electricity. unless this sort of activism is just his rice bowl.
Mango,
If some fossil-fuel corporations stop selling fossil-fuels they’ll go broke, duh.
Great business model.
The fossil-fuel corporations know they’re on the way out and if smart (they are) they’re preparing for the future, even if the American right isn’t.
It seems your only concern, like most NuCons and tRumpatistas, is to hurt your political opponents, as if you are Hutu and they’re Tutsi.
Blind hatred.
If some fossil-fuel corporations stop selling fossil-fuels they’ll go broke, duh.
Great business model.
So much for the entrepreneur and capitalist.
These companies have diversified. They also know their business in making things go, so, if it’s nucular or some other kind of power, they’ll move into it.
PS I’ve found most of the people who go around, “Duh”, are the ones who typify it.
“The fossil fuel companies know they’re on the way out.†Yes, as soon as more reliable, cheaper and cleaner alternative is found. Windmills and solar panels are not that.
Speaking of rebels…

Typical. Starts with the false premise that Shell “knowsâ€, as in we know all we need to know because settled science
And, of course, it isn’t.
There is nothing funny about your hatred or your intellectual and moral bankruptcy.
You have taken to lying as much as your brethren.
Says the menagerie which has yet to utter a truthful sentence.
We already know you have always lied. gitarcarver has devolved over the past year.
No, the more I hear lil, the more I think he has your number. You are, in the end, an all-around lowlife.
dutchwiz,
Lil DOES have numbers! He posts phone numbers and addresses of those he stalks online!
Why do you never want to discuss issues? Never. Even Lil makes the occasional effort.
It’s easy – all you need to do is to correct factual errors, flawed reasoning and overreach on conclusions. My advice is that you correct lies of others.
