KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Quote Two Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists who threw soup over Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers have been found guilty of criminal damage. Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland, both 22, launched the contents of two tins of tomato soup on to the painting at the National Gallery in central London, later gluing their hands to the wall beneath it. The gallery previously said the gold-coloured frame of the glass-covered painting was damaged in the October 2022 attack. At Southwark Crown Court, Judge Christopher Hehir told the pair to be "prepared in practical and emotional terms to go to prison" when they are sentenced on 27 September. - BBClink They going to jail probably Edited July 25 by KatyPrismSpirit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAP Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 If they want to excel at vandalism, they should just look at what the UK and these Western countries did to ancient artifacts in Africa and Asia. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think community service and a lifetime ban from the museum would've been enough too Edited July 25 by KatyPrismSpirit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui Blackout Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Some of these people actually enjoy being jailed cause it elevates them to martyr or folk heroes status in their circles. There's an undeniable element of narcissism behind this type of righteous activist archetype. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an undeniable element of narcissism behind this type of righteous activist archetype. Putting on my tinfoil conspiracy hat: I remember a couple years ago when this particular flavor of climate activism was popping up, there was some discourse that a lot of the funding for these activists was coming from a big oil tycoons heir or something, and it made me wonder if the elite class is intentionally gassing up the more "cringe" activists to give climate activism a bad name to the GP. Now before anyone comes for me, if you look at the response these stunts get 95% of the comments are usually very counter productive, and while it might get people talking, i'm not sure that "all publicity is good publicity" in this case, as it's not like people are talking about the issues, its more they are talking about how stupid climate activists are, which is not ideal because if more and more people think climate activism only amounts to throwing soup, it really undermines the good work thousands of activists are doing doing globally, which is whyyyyyyyy I think this stuff is suspicious. I once went on a date with a dude who worked for a huge oil company in "community outreach", and I was curious how they deal with activists who I assumed would be a huge nuisance for them, however he waved his hand nonchalantly and was like "they all have their price" and left it that.
