The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

These are all felonies.

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Spray painting someone's house is not a felony. Also who cares.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

Stalking is.

Who cares? I'm sure the people who trying to protest without becoming felons. What is this take...

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Following someone once is not stalking. For stalking there has to be a persistent pattern. Or else women would be able to get stalkers arrested a lot more often instead of being killed by them.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

Fucking thank you for the nitpicking. I'm sure you can deduct where people live if you followed them somewhere once.

Christ almighty the thickness.

Encouraging people to do crimes IRL, while posting on the internet anonymously, sitting on your fat ass consuming resources that accelerate climate change.

How do the boots and assholes of the Uber wealthy taste btw? From the way you are munchin down I would guess pretty good but I would like to know your first hand knowledge.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

Explain the correlation between you not understanding what a protest is and me supposedly "munching boots".

Sit the fuck back down, basement-dweller, and enjoy people doing the hard work of resisting the status quo for you.

You are the one sticking up for oil executives, not me, but sure, I'm the bad one.

This is the UK. "Felonies" 🙄

But yeah it's a lot more severe and they'd probably be out of activism forever.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Fucking so sorry my second language isn't up to par to your standards.

What's the right term here, "a proper naughty twat?"

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

That would be "crime".

A felony is a type of crime which doesn't exist here.

You can't just get upset if someone points out you've used a word wrong. Words have meanings and while getting it wrong, especially as a second language, isn't bad, it's still incorrect and can be confusing (e.g. most people would assume you're talking about US law when you talk about felonies).

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I can get upset when instead of correcting me in the first comment, you mocked me.

Assuming everyone's aware of the US/UK law and their nomenclature is too much sniffing of your on farts.

Or is it flatulence. Toots?

Oh and lastly, the person I replied to, listed random crimes/felonies, and didn't specify the country those crimes/felonies should be done.

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

From context, it's clear that it'd be UK action, considering JSO is a UK group.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Climate activism isn't limited to JSO

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

In this thread we're talking about the effectiveness of JSOs methods and what they "should do" instead.

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

We were talking about something else before you "acktchually" this convo.

[-] Adanisi@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Point to the comment in this chain where we aren't talking about what JSO is/should be doing before I got involved, then. With a quote and a link.

PS there's only one comment before mine and yours and it's talking about what JSO "should" do. I'll save you time:

Ffs just blow up a pipeline or sabotage parts of their infrastructure or follow the higher ups home and deface their homes

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Right, so you think that the person thinks that vandalism of notable monuments as protest in other countries by other groups of people is fine?

It's Just JSO in UK that should act differently.

Christ, I thought they teach this shit in schools.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
