@@anemone104 No, it was still just vandalism, and it still did absolutely nothing for the suffragettes. Also you're not a suffragette, stop ego tripping, child.
Protest: To express a strong objection to (something). To participate in a public demonstration in opposition to (something): synonym: object They are vandals, too. They are hypocrites, too. But they are also protesters, tbh.
Exactly, the smug self righteous attitude of these lunatics needs slapping down, some solicitor assuming everyone believes we are all going to fry sometime in the future, lecturing from that position how the world should be run. These JSO nutters are all exactly the same ilk, posh, rich pink headed workshy kids, or retired old fools with nothing better to do.
@@RobertProulx-s1m Climate crisis???? What climate crisis???? Do you mean the "Man makes the weather change" crisis?? Or the "Cow farts are causing climate change" crisis??
The consequences to these 2 fools will reverberate for years.... Any future employer or anyone else doing a background check on them will see them as unhinged troublemakers
You know what else is criminal? Taking 2 years to sentence these idiots. The only reason Just Stop Oil is a problem is because the justice system is broken.
Their sentence should be going to a colony where you live with no oil derived products or energy. No electronics, no synthetic fibers, no cosmetics, no shipped goods, cooking and heating by wood they gather themselves.
SPOT ON NO HEATING NO CLOTHES MADE FROM OIL . LET THEM GO BACK TO THE STONE AGE ASP IS WHAT I SAY . NO TV YOU CAN BET THAY WOULD BE CRYING THERE EYS OUT WITHIN A DAY OR TWO . THERE PARENTS HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR AS WELL THAY HAVE NOT CONDEMNED THERE ACTION HAVE THAY .
i agree completely, i hear these types in our country crying about the criminal oil industry but you don't see them walking places or wearing clothes made of bark or leaves.
They need to learn how to use oil paints in an intelligent manner - they must stay in prison until they can paint that Van Gogh painting themselves and they cannot leave prison until they paint it to perfection, exactly as the original. If they cannot - they need to make that prison their permanent address.
The mother of one of these nutters is now campaigning to get her 4 year sentence reduced, that makes me very angry I hope she fails just like she failed as a mother when she didn't teach her daughter to respect other people's property and rights.
This is NOT a "protest". It is violence. It is vandalism. They achieved NOTHING toward their goal but only got themselves taken to jail and court and to make people despise people like them for their antics. They gained no sympathy for their cause but only created animosity toward people like themselves.
They don’t have a cause, but they don’t know it. Mummy and daddy have to sit down with them and deal with them. Take away their allowance? Restrict their cell phone use?
That's so true. If someone says anything against oil-companies nowadays, it's easy to assume they belong to the same attention seeking extreme leftists.
Modern art is nonsense, simply unique mediums of investment, that prize the death of the artist. The art world is a dictatorship not a democracy because most people hate modern art. But damaging other people's pretentious rubbish still is a crime.
As long as they serve the whole five.....Brits, Ozzies, Canooks all talk a tough line but are truly soft on crime and oblivious to the damage criminals do. Rehabilitation is only one pillar of justice but these governments are fixated and things like deterrence, punishment, and restitution are routinely ignored.
🙄 Enough with calling things “woke”. The anti-woke rhetoric is what truly needs to stop. But having said that, this action is vandalism, not a protest. We need to stop our reliance on fossil fuels because it’s causing irreparable damage to the environment. But this won’t do anything.
Imagine they try to do that. Think about for a second. They would need a boat to go to a rig, battle the starting 3 ( navy, marines, homeland) and then vandalize it. That is quite the side mission.
They're a mix of idiots and attention whores. Many of them are even both. Imagine if they went for an oil rig and having to deal with security. They wouldn't get far.
@@videoceeor they could just get the money to spam adverts and donate to clean energy places or hold peaceful protests outside of buildings for oil companies or even host large gatherings where you clean up oil spills and show off the true damage it does. There are many many ways to protest oil and they chose the dumbest most ineffective one
At one time they would have been arrested and would up in court the very next day. They videoed what they did, so the evidence against them would be overwhelming so it would be an open and shut case and the whole trial over in about 10 minutes. They would be on their way to jail immediately afterwards. That would be a proper deterrent.
Eco-terrorism does not constitute a legitimate form of protest. Perpetrators of such acts should be held legally accountable for the damage inflicted upon cultural and artistic heritage.
It baffles me these 2 have been free to roam for 2 years without charges or so much as an ankle bracelet, and their only terms of bail are don't carry substances and don't go to museums. Why does it take 2 years to sentence them?
I totally Agree, and I would further add, No food or water, and a screen around the wall and Painting, and eggs for people like me to throw at the two misfits
@@Uzarranit's not just the youth today. They're idiots in all age groups. Did you see the age of the people holding the signs at 1:45 and 3:15 into the video.
@@dalerorex1416 but billionaire oil frackers who fund the media and bribe politicians into keeping us in forever wars in Middle East resulting in mass civilian casualties and generations of American’s coming home with ptsd should just walk free.

Remember, around half of our society are complete idiots that condone this stuff and are probably fighting against holding them accountable. We're probably lucky they were even arrested.
What about an emergency. ambulance, fire, etc and someone's life is lost while they're blocking the road's? This should be Life in prison for all involved! These kid's are not thinking of their future, they're thinking of their "popularity" on social media! Trying to be like Greta.
@@user-fe6km7gw8myes they should get charges of intentional manslaughter at the very least and possibly murder since the child’s mother told them her baby was dying and begged them to let them through but they refused and ignored her.
I implore these young climate activists to please go to the biggest petroleum producing countries in the world and protest freely. I highly recommend going to Saudi Arabia and the UAE first. I heard they are very understanding, supportive and accommodating of these activities. 😌
thsoe are cowards , they like taking 0 risk and act like they are heroes , if ppl were allowed to give slaps and protect culural materiall you won't see those around , bring back the good old mommy/daddy slap , i just imagine me young as those and do the same , i would not be afraid of the cops , i would be afraid of my dad retaliation. First a slap then he would offer the museum my free service as floor cleaner for my whole vacation, and the floor better be clean everyday !
This is not protesting this is straight up criminal acts. They protest oil but cant get a grip on the fact everthing around them is in some way connected to oil.

Someone's making profit of mental problems of young adults. Instead of giving them therapy money, put them to do this. And get jailtime.
Agree, by "stop oil," they probably meant stopping the petroleum industry, but petroleum is all around us. I mean naphta, cooking gas, paraffin, kerosene, wax, lubricant, bitumen, etc. There's a reason why petroleum producing countries are crazy rich despite the advent of electric and hydrogen car. We still doesn't have an electric or hydrogen fueled commercial and passenger aircraft, researchers estimate it would take another decade to make it a reality.
This is 100% protesting the intention was to protest against fossil fuel consumption and government policies related to oil and gas, rather than to vandalize art for its own sake.
If the public very roughly stopped them doing it and law allowed that as "citizens defence" it would stop pretty sharply, same with people dragging them off the road and throwing them in the hedge, the law needs to stop protecting the law breakers from just consequences for being annoying bellends
@@Thetache literally....you ever wonder why these sort of acts ONLY happen in completely westernised countries....In other countries people still have self respect and will fight THEMSELVES against the person destroying property infront of them
Right, if we keep only going after the small fries, but leaving the bigger fish that's directing and spawning more new brainwashed tools, then we'd never get anywhere.
I think they just bought the painting - break it and you bought it! Let them pay the full amount! If they can't pay they will have to work in jail until they have paid for it.
Calm down everyone !!!! IT WASN’T DAMAGED AT ALL !!!! It was behind A GLASS PANELS. So all you art lovers; who think a human life ( created by GOD) isn’t worth a “painting” created by a single one if GODS Creations ; USE YOUR BRAIN 🧠 , if you still have one. AS A JUDGE ; I would give them no more than 30 days community service and time served in detention. Let them just CLEAN UP the mess they created. Clean up the toilets 🚽 in the Museum. Maybe they meet some nice humans like you “Art Lovers” and you influence them with your caring & LOVE. ❤
2 years to hand down a sentence that could have been administered later that same week without wasting 10's of thousands of tax payers dollars. Put these destructive vandals in jail for a few years immediately after they attack something and this non sense will stop. Just another sign of how broken and pathetic justice is in western countries. Most likely whatever sentences they get will be watered down to be completely meaningless. No lessons learned and the cycle will repeat ad nauseam

I've grown to appreciate them to be honest. They bring a little bit of colour to the world. As far as I know, nothing has been damaged beyond the superficial.
No, there isn't. Neither the Van Gogh painting, nor Van Gogh himself, add anything (using the money grifting term of "carbon footprint") to the fantasy idea of climate change.
So it only took 2 years to figure out that they're guilty with video evidence that the entire world saw immediately after they did it. What does justice even mean at this point?
“What is worth more, art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice? “Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting, or the protection of our planet and people? The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis.” "Phoebe Plummer"
@BenHermans-cv7re Why must the protection of our planet involve vandalising a painting? Instead of blocking traffic and vandalising things, why not go clean up a beach or something?
@@Cuz.im.batman Yeah, when they got older and went to school, they were the ones the teacher sat in the corner, for eating the paste. Eventually they went to schools the rest of us never heard of via a short bus and were never seen again.
This was performative activism, not protest! These people do this kind of stuff, because they are under the impression nothing really serious will happen to them. Their lives are never really at risk, and punishment is always lenient, and they get to act as martyrs and "freedom fighters" with a boosted ego
@@krashd No, they just want an end to all oil, gas, and coal use by the year 2030. Which is a pipe dream. They would do better asking for a unicorn as a pet. It's an organization that preys on mostly naive youth who have almost no real world adult experience. Take pink hair in this video for example. A young woman who has admitted to never paying a bill in her life. Yet the world should listen to her and people like her? Yea, no thanks.
@sirrathersplendid4825 too bad they will have to work for their entire life and their children's life for it. That why they shouldn't have done it. Only this way they will learn. Just like with Browser case and thr Roms site
Judge..."The painting is considered priceless." "You will be in prison until the funds for it's restoration are collected and the restorstion attempted...if it cannot be restored, you will spend the rest of your lives in prision."
No use of smart phones nor laptops, think of all the plastics involved in their daily lives. Not to mention the paint on their "just stop oil" t shirts
No cars, boats, planes or trains. No petroleum jelly based products. Nothing plastic or polyester including their shoes, clothes etc! Rather go clean a street or beach and be useful !
Not only jail time, they need to pay the cost to clean/restore the painting. No entry for museum and criminal charges recorded all over the world so they won’t be able to visit other countries for holidays or even for future work.
They are stupid. Yes. But end any chance they have at being successful for throwing tomato soup at a painting? You're just as extreme as they are, except you want human beings to suffer.
I hope go to jail for a very long time. They are not being sentenced for protesting. They being sentenced for Vandalism. Protest outside with signs or speeches. These people position is deeply flawed. Without fossil fuels the world starves. 8 billion people cannot be feed without fuel and fertilizer.
Prison yes, but honestly, I don't know what I feel is the reasonable length. The fact is they went in there with malicious intent to vandalize and cause a disturbance. They didn't care how it would effect other people, they just wanted it to be loud. Protesting does NOT give you the right to commit crimes without consequence.
How does NOT DESTROYING IT, limit your stupidity ???!!! Calm down everyone !!!! IT WASN’T DAMAGED AT ALL !!!! It was behind A GLASS PANELS.

Not that rare when there are at least 5 versions painted by the artist, surely? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflowers_(Van_Gogh_series) And was it actually destroyed? Did they try to destroy it? Or did they just get it a bit soupy?
@@anemone104 That's like saying murder or assault is OK because there are millions of people. They committed an act of vandalism to draw attention to a pointless cause.

Apparently when you go to court, it’s a good idea to hire a lawyer who practices law if you want to stay out of jail instead of hiring another whack job activist.
I'd also consider hiring a barrister, rather than a solicitor, when appearing in crown court. Although, having said that they were bang to rights anyway, and their solicitor did them no favours whatsoever.
Exactly! All transportation takes oil. I wonder if they walked or rode their bikes to the museum. They need to be sentenced to live without any trace of oil in their day to day living - including polyester clothing, the water proof back packs, all plastics, shoes, etc.
these people are the biggest hypocrites. if you took everything that has oil apart of it from them. they would go even more insane and be put in an asylum.
They are liberals. Too lazy to actually do anything good, so they destroy whats good already. But they say nice words that make them think they have moral authority.
Really dumb question but... why TF did it take 2 YEARS to convict them??? Seriously? They did it...ON VIDEO... then glued themselves to the wall... sooo it's not like they had to be hunted down... 2 YEARS TO CONVICT ??? Should've taken 2 minutes !!! What a waste of taxpayer money
There's such a backlog in the UK court system at present that it takes two years to get your day in court. Shame they were remanded on bail and not remanded in custody.
Delays, continuences, appeals the whole shabang to grind the courts to a stop. Just stop oil is to well funded to conduct lawfare with the law. Its not an grassroots organization. Its all staged and managed. All these twats are paid actors not activists. They should investigate who funds that clownshow and take them to court.
Or demonstrate the Formula 1 at Silverstone for instance? It is because they are cowards and their group is very small. But most of them it's because they are cowards.
The same people who asked, “What’s more important? Art or life?” While throwing soup at a painting instead of giving to those who need to live another day. Irony at its finest
@@LatinGiudo817 JSO are only against the use of oil in engines and power plants. You folks think you are being clever when you point out that "things are made of oil" but everyone over the age of five knows that things are made of oil and so everyone over the age of five should also be able to tell what JSO stand for. It's not rocket science, do better.
@@krashd So stopping traffic and vandalizing art is "stopping oil companies" rather than protesting near said oil companies? Any one over the age of 5 would see that there's no logic in that. Hell, 5 year olds would make more sense than that. Looks like you need to take your own advice JSO supporter.
Solicitors .... delay, delay, delay. Although I thought in the UK, Solicitors weren't involved in actual trials, but only non-trial work (wills, estate, etc.)?? Isn't it a Barrister that argues at trial before a judge there?
