So the plan is as an environmentalist, stop traffic, causing vehicles to sit, idle and spew more exhaust into the air than they would if they continued on driving to the destination and being turned off....

Crazies, interesting they never fight when being pulled off the road, just walk back and sit down, figure it's part of the process about getting seen.

Go sit in a road and get coverage in the internet and/or tv hope something wild happens to get it viral.

Ignoring that they don't have a basis, if they really believed in their cause, they should consider general rules of thumb. Like (for concept) 90% of the cause of climate change can be localized to prc and india. So, go do your stuff in prc / india.

They spend 90% of their efforts trying to address 10% of the contribution for which there are diminishing returns.

Go spend 90% of the effort in prc first. BTW, I'd love to see that. I'd pay to see that. That would be good for a laugh - pulling this kind of stuff on the ring 1's.

They weren't very committed. The rest of Europe, the idiots are gluing their hands to the road. Perhaps they realized Portuguese drivers would drag their ass off the road with or without their skin.

No, Portuguese drivers, on seeing the morons’ hands glued to the pavement, would accelerate toward them just to see their expression.

I mean, they drive like Brazilians, Angolans or Indians.

Why not, if the activists glue themselves to the roadway, simply back up your polluting car so the exhaust is literally in their face? And then sit back and enjoy?

I’d like to see some car clubs get involved and donate a few rear tires worth of noxious rubber to their cause

Piers Morgan ( Roll Eyes yeah that guy) pointed that out on his show a few months ago to one of these kooks. Go to 11:50, the guy can't get a response out while Morgan exposes his moral failing....why are these clowns agonizing the UK and the West, instead of China, India & Russia who blatantly do all that these groups accuse the West of.

I saw a video of something similar. Guy with "loud pipes" backup up to the protester's head and revvved the engine.

I wish I could find the video.

But, Holy ear damage Batman. If your hands are glued to the road, you can't cover your ears. Oh well.

There is a YouTube video of a farmer out of the UK, I believe, that backed up a honeywagon on some protestors and let loose. If you don't know what a honeywagon is, it is a tank, approx. 3000 gal. filled with liquid manure, i.e. cow piss and shit all mixed together, and usually left to ferment awhile before spraying as fertilizer on a field.

The protestors ignored an injunction and trespassed on the farmer's property. One of the protestors included a Hollyweird idiot, Emma Thompson, and was trying to film a parody tv show on the farmer's land.

if they just ran over the street protestors' appendages, probably wouldn't result in any life threatening injuries...just thinking out loud LOL
