...someone who would equate a harmless protest action to the serious of the environmental crisis is not someone who would take the climate crisis seriously in any situation.

This was not a harmless protest action, it's harmful to the cause of climate change, it turns people off to the cause and that you can't see that is astounding to say the least.

How do you know that these 2 dumbasses intent wasn't to damage/destroy this art?

I emphatically do not advocate violence... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #68

Yes, you do, and you have throughout all your contributions to this thread. Don't be coy. Hekate Jun 2023 #78

I HAVE NEVER ENDORSED VIOLENCE IN THIS THREAD OR ANY OTHER. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #84

But yet, here you are defending these 2 dumbasses violent actions. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #95

I don't consider smearing glass with paint to be violent. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #100

LOL MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #103

The law considers painting glass as violence? Think. Again. Jun 2023 #106

Yes, it's called defacing. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #109

Criminal Damage is a crime... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #114

What do you call attempting to deface a historic piece of artwork? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #117

Violence can be commited against things? Think. Again. Jun 2023 #120

What fucking country do you live in? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #123

I stand corrected, again.... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #127

Thank you. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #128

And thank you for a lively conversation... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #131

And thank you for keeping it civil. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #132

I'm really impressed Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #134

well thank YOU! Think. Again. Jun 2023 #138

But you endorse their attempt to deface the art, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #80

YES I CAN. THE GLASS WAS THERE. THEY KNEW IT WAS THERE. THEY COULD SEE IT WAS THERE. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #85

So what if they could see it, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #88

How could they have intended for the paint to get thru glass? Think. Again. Jun 2023 #90

That's the point I'm making, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #93

I know they were not intending to get paint on the art... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #98

Again, you don't know that for certain. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #101

I don't consider smearing paint on glass as violence. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #104

What you consider is irrelevant to the law. nt MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #107

of course I do. it is impossible to get paint thru glass. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #108

Whoosh, right over your head. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #112

you seriously think they believed the paint would go thru glass? Think. Again. Jun 2023 #115

Once again, you have no idea what these 2 assholes believed. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #119

Thank you MCE for your contribution to this thread, by the way.... Hekate Jun 2023 #124

It would seem so. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #126

"Hobby"? That's remarkably insulting. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2023 #133

Okay Hekate Jun 2023 #139

How? Personal communications? Also, if this "bunch of conversations" seems strange to you... Hekate Jun 2023 #110

But you think that paint goes thru glass... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #116

The frames are part of the art. But as long as you change the subject, I notice you certainly are ... Hekate Jun 2023 #121

Very interesting indeed. nt MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #125

As I said, PETA walks a tightrope Amishman Jun 2023 #62

Nothing has been defaced. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #69

Can you prove that this wasn't the intent? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #76

YES. THERE IS GLASS IN FRONT OF IT. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #83

So, IOW, you can't with 100% certainty guarantee that these 2 dumbasses MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #86

Yes. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR PAINT TO GET THRU GLASS Think. Again. Jun 2023 #94

And, here you are again defending these 2 dumbasses violence against this art MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #97

I don't consider smearing paint on glass to be violence. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #102

I don't give a damn what YOU consider, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #105

I highly doubt they will be charged with a crime of violence. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #111

Again, you don't know that. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #113

Correct, but since no violence was committed I am assuming that. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #118

Wow!!!! MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #122

Pretty much Johonny Jun 2023 #38

Not this kind of shit again... sakabatou Jun 2023 #3

? Think. Again. Jun 2023 #8

It doesn't bother me, I just find it stupid. sakabatou Jun 2023 #10

And this helps the cause of climate change how???????? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #4

There is... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #11

We've had this argument Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #25

No, you're wrong, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #28

Do you support this also to raise public awareness? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #29

We are discussing... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #47

It is not a harmless publicity stunt, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #65

Negative publicity is Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #135

Stupid fools achieving the opposite of what they claim their goal is. Raine Jun 2023 #9

If paint on glass sickens you... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #13

The TACTIC they're using is sickening, nothing of substance has come from it but turning people off Raine Jun 2023 #17

There's no doubt... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #22

Who says that we can't be upset about both? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #32

"Many people are discussing their action" brooklynite Jun 2023 #58

well actually... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #70

Hmmm Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #136

Agree Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #26

I guess I just don't understand.... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #51

I guess what's upsetting is the fact that you don't get what the intent is... MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #66

There was obviously no intent or attempt... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #71

Were you there? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #75

I KNOW THEY COULD NOT HAVE INTENDED TO PUT PAINT ON ART THAT HAS GLASS PROTECTING Think. Again. Jun 2023 #87

Unless you were there and personally know them and what there intent was, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #91

What's the point? Dorian Gray Jun 2023 #99

My deepest gratitude to the activists. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #14

Lovely painting canetoad Jun 2023 #15

You would think they would be more bright Snooper9 Jun 2023 #16

They do it to get the publicity. No-one cares about the protests that block traffic. muriel_volestrangler Jun 2023 #19

Well, I'm a DU oldtimer and I do! CTyankee Jun 2023 #30

How much of a mark did the Dartford protests make on DU, or American media? muriel_volestrangler Jun 2023 #31

We seem to be having this conversation about the art, not the Dartford protests here. CTyankee Jun 2023 #34

That's my point. The sub-thread started with a suggestion "why don't they block roads instead ... muriel_volestrangler Jun 2023 #35

Well, it IS a very famous artist whose art is being attacked. Monet is loved and known by a lot more CTyankee Jun 2023 #36

Monet... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #52

Um...whut? CTyankee Jun 2023 #64

You said... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #72

Are you saying this wasn't the intent of these dumbasses? MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #77

YES. THE PROOF IS THAT THERE WAS GLASS PROTECTING IT. Think. Again. Jun 2023 #89

Wrong, again, you don't know for certain what their actual intent was. nt MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2023 #92

Of course not. CTyankee Jun 2023 #79

They do get publicity- sarisataka Jun 2023 #40

Just Stop Oil publicised that the British government plans to grant new drilling permits muriel_volestrangler Jun 2023 #42

Much like PETA sarisataka Jun 2023 #43

perhaps... Think. Again. Jun 2023 #73
