Just Awesome
A bunch of Green peace protesters tried to disrupt the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) in Great Britain. They got the ever-living piss kicked out of them.
They snuck through a security door and marched on to the trading floor with whistles and foghorns. Their stated goal was to disrupt trading. And this is what one of the protesters said “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.” How obnoxious can you get? Someone is supposed to “listen” to you because you have forced yourself into their life and disrupted their job.
These arrogant protesters think that posing behind non-violent methods means they can do whatever they want to anyone they want. Maybe smacking them around is socially unacceptable. But it’s damn funny.
