   “Your harm is at category 1, which means extreme harm to society … The action you took was … criminally idiotic given the risks involved…”

   – Judge Christopher Hehir, Southwark Crown Court, while sentencing the heads of Shell and ExxonMobil to 2 years in prison on Friday for their role in exacerbating the climate crisis.

   Oh, I’m sorry, I meant while sentencing two climate activists for throwing soup on a painting to draw attention to the climate crisis.

     @rejzor Don’t worry about it, clearly it’s all a bit too complicated for you to understand.

     @aral Though, how is throwing shit at a painting raising awareness about oil corporations?

     @aral Judge Christopher Hehir is about as authoritarian as they come. He's repeatedly leveraged anti-protest legislation to hand out obscene sentences while giving free passes to other, much more heinous crimes...

     @aral Obviously a pair of unemployed and devil may care tossers from privileged backgrounds. They should both be immersed in a vat of tomato soup for a few days - no visitors!!

     @aral Yeh throwing soup on a culturally significant piece of historical art isn't saving the environment, it's attention-seeking behavior that turns the uninformed public NEGATIVE on climate activism.

     Climate activism IS important, but this was poor publicity-seeking stupidity , and you know it.

     People who love art, ALSO often love the environment.

     Wrongheaded "activism" does no one any good.

     There, I said it.

     @jonpaul It’s never the right place/time/way to protest, is it? Always so damn inconvenient.

     @aral trying to destroy art isn’t the way to protest. They deserve prison/jail
