Climate Change Protesters are not greeted warmly!

(See what I did there?)

I'm loving this one. Middle and Upper Class Climate Change Protesters go to a working class neighborhood and climb on top of the commuter train to stop it as part of a protest. Workers who are going to be late for work get ticked off, pull them from the train roof and Underground employees are just able to save them from getting the crap beat out of them.

Angry Londoners furious at having their lives disrupted dragged ‘Extinction Rebellion’ climate change protesters from the roof of a train this morning.

The incident happened at Canning Town Tube station, located in London’s poor east end – a particularly stupid venue for Extinction Rebellion activists to try to pull such a stunt.

One decidedly middle class looking protester climbed on top of the train but was pelted with objects before being dragged back down to the platform

Almost immediately, another protester climbed on top of the train but was also pursued and dragged back down.

London Underground staff had to intervene to prevent the protesters getting a substantial beating.

Another video shows commuters arguing with one of the protesters before forcing her to admit she’s a hypocrite.

Police said four protesters were arrested.

The official Extinction Rebellion Twitter account later tried to compare their activists to Rosa Parks, despite the fact the footage shows white middle class activists being confronted by a mixed crowd which includes numerous black people.

As we document in the video below, the ‘Extinction Rebellion’ protest movement is one huge virtue signal centered around middle and upper middle class people lecturing working class people on how to live their lives.

People would be so much better off if they would realize that humankind and this world will not end one year, one month, one day, one hour, one minute or one single solitary second before God has determined it will.

Oh, how the arrogance of earthy mortals abounds. :rolleyes:
 
Imagine the shock when they realized others may not agree with their ideas paid agenda.

Watching this I feel the man's frustration. And like a movie where you root for the hero... I applaud him for breaking through getting rid of their sign and pushing them the hell out of the way.

It's like the protesters are three year old children not understanding that the rest of the world works. We work to live and be happy, provide for our family and have a satisfying life. In the meantime these misguided "children", who have no jobs, think they can protest the world into a kindler gentler socialist state.

The government overreach they are protesting for, is insulting to those of us in the real world working and being impacted by their nonsense.

The man is right... we gotta get to work. Their shutting down streets to get in the news impacts our reliability to our employer.
 
So now it's OK to assault people and steal their property if we don't agree with them (even if they are blocking the street)? Shouldn't the police have handled this matter?

That's the problem.

The police used to solve it... but now in fear of looking like they are too "brutal" they do the hands off thing. Our society is nw hostage to these groups. I don't blame the police. Under 0bama the police became targets, I wondered why anyone would even do that job.

Protesters know that nothing will be done, but the news will come cover what the "cause" is and they get more air time.

It is a little like what we see with Trump. The only way to deal with the other side is to act like them. People hate what Trump spouts, but it is needed because the other side fights dirty.

The rational citizens are now fed up and must do what the police will not. Until the quiet citizens are louder about supporting the police and demanding charges for those who block streets and create unsafe spots in our city, we will see unrest.

They can protest all they want on the sidewalks. Get out of the roadway.

So breaking the law is justified for being inconvenienced. Got it.

I agree that they shouldn't be protesting in the roadway and I wouldn't have shed a tear had one of them gotten accidentally hit by a car. But that doesn't give someone else the right to break the law.

Not saying it’s OK, But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Blocking the roadway is illegals as well, but it doesn’t seem to bother them. While I don’t agree with a direct assault on the protesters, removing the sign they were using to block the road and removing it to a place they won’t get it for a while (not keeping it) seems legitimate to me. Protest t the government center or something.

They have no right to detain people and impede their freedom of movement.

Hitting the camera and/or them enough to knock it out of their hands or to knock them to the ground is OK now?
 
The protesters were fully prepared to instigate confrontation and that’s exactly what they received. Sometimes common sense overrides legal boundaries which LE may or may not enforce. To loosely summarize what one of our members here often states, “Your rights end when they impede those of others.”

Notice that I said "Hitting the camera and/or them enough to knock it out of their hands OR to knock them to the ground is OK now?". You chose to ignore the part about hitting the camera.

The posted video didn't show enough to know for sure. I found another video online that shows you are correct that the woman wasn't knocked to the ground. However, it does show that her phone/camera was forcibly knocked from her hands and then thrown. Are you OK with this type of behavior and damage to her property?

I get it....the folks protesting shouldn't have been blocking traffic so it's easy to cheer for what the guy did. That doesn't make it (forcibly taking her phone/camera and then damaging it) right or legal.

She'll think about it before participating in another protest. Change behavior....change the world.
