Did they all walk, ride a bike, take the bus, or take an EV to the game? It’s played at Nationals Park, about as far south as you can get in D.C. They all look to be wearing a lot of clothes made with petroleum. Same with the elected Democrats who vote for “climate action” and support these types of nutters
UPDATE: Eight of us have been arrested for shutting down the Congressional Baseball Game.
They are behind bars right now.
Make no mistake: It’s the Members of Congress who should be locked up. pic.twitter.com/tNoB4jh0xp

LOL. Locked up for refusing to go full Fascist with climate scam laws. This is also exhibit A during their court appearances
Eight protesters arrested at Congressional Baseball Game
Eight protesters were arrested Wednesday night during the Congressional Baseball Game, a yearly tradition that raises money for charities.
U.S. Capitol Police officers “quickly stopped” and arrested eight people as they tried to protest on the field, Capitol Police said on X.
Police said the protesters are being charged with interference with a member of the U.S. Capitol Police, a federal charge.
Will they be treated the same as J6 folks, kept in jail till their trial with no bail, then locked up for a few years? Especially since they said they did it?
The Capitol Police public information office told NBC News that the protesters are still in police custody, where they are being processed and will be taken to jail. It also said no injuries were reported during arrests.
The group Climate Defiance took responsibility for the protest, posting pictures to X of protesters wearing shirts reading “end fossil fuels” jumping onto the field and being tackled or arrested by police officers.
Shirts, pants, shoes, smartphones, and so much more all made with petroleum.
Reached for comment, organizer Evan Drukker-Schardl said, “Congress and the fossil fuel industry have picked their side tonight: death and destruction for our entire planet.”
Drukker-Schardl also pointed to Chevron, an oil and gas company that sponsored the game. The game had more than 100 sponsors, including Comcast NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
It’s a cult. “Death and destruction” from something that keeps happening during the Holocene. Anyhow, this might be the best hit of the night
We were brutalized tonight – beaten and bruised as we took over the Congressional Baseball Game. Our bodies are bloodied but our spirits are unmoved. We will build a better world. We will rise again. We will prevail. Just you wait. pic.twitter.com/hganGo5Ogw

These people appear in the dictionary under “self-righteous”.
These people appear in the dictionary under “stupid”.
It was at a practice session for the congressional baseball game in which Representative Steve Scalise was shot by James Hodgkinson, a left-wing extremist with a record of domestic violence. Just how stupid would these ‘protesters’ have to be to not realize that there would be security at the game?
This kind of “protest” needs to be met with deadly force.
It’s one thing to peacefully march and carry signs, or write a letter to the editor. It’s another to physically attack the functioning of society.
We won’t have a stable society again until people learn that basic lesson.
