You are watching the future suicide bombers for Climate Change. This level of fanaticism always increases in irrationality.
Oh, I’m not going to post any thoughts at all about this. Nope, none at all.
Other than revulsion for parents who so use their children.
I see they’ve chained their arms thru tubes to increase the difficulty of removal. It’s unacceptable they brought a child into this.
I like to recall this guy: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/02/04/veteran-activist-recalls-losing-legs-to-train-in-concord-protest/
And I see there was another more recent “oopsie,” but this guy didn’t survive it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nuke-protester-killed-by-train-25-09-2003/
I am reminded of protesters in Boston who chained themselves through tubes running through drums of concrete, blocking route 93. An ambulance had to reroute and, due to the delay, the patient died. I don’t recall if any of the protesters were even charged. Sigh.
Oh almost forgot: what bloody fucking idiots! (Sorry about the ad hominem.)
And, of course, there’s the bathroom consideration. 8>)
People need to accidentally spill things on them, or perhaps have some ants find their way nearby. Maybe a stray dog to come and pee on them? Drop some skunk spray nearby. Oops!
Is it fanaticism or is it complacency?
Serious question, how many do you think would still be doing it if they believed there was the slightest possibility any of the motorists would have the balls to just run them over?
pour a gallon of gasoline under the vehicle – they will leave – or get chemical burns, or someone might just decide light them on fire – sad for the child, the parents should be arrested for child endangerment –
but if ya play stupid games and ya win stupid prizes
