Activists Vandalize Stonehenge With Orange Paint

Environmental activists from Just Stop Oil sprayed Stonehenge with orange powdery paint. Although several people stepped in to try to stop the vandalization, they were successful. The organization posted their reasoning for defacing the structure on X, writing "2 people took action the day before Summer Solstice, demanding the incoming government sign up to a legally binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030." The suspects were later arrested. Inside Edition Digital has more.

This is how you get people to hate what you stand for

How exactly do activists expect to win people over to their side with vandalism? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

[Xenophon]

The woman protecting Stonehenge showed more courage than the entire UK police force.

Defacing one of the 7 wonders of the world is crime that should come with a serious punishment.

Vandalising art, monuments, and sports games don’t really “stop oil”.

Seeing a monument be defaced should cause everyone to intervene

[arminiusofgermania]

defacing a neolithic historical site should be considered an act of terrorism.

This is so stupid, hope they get sent to jail for multiple years.
Vandalism isnt a joke.

[bettybunbun]

That old Japanese lady cared more about stonehenge than the British onlookers.

File a lawsuit so big it ruins their organization,

[PeterDeMatteo]

One thing is protest, and another thing is vandalism.
Vandalism is a crime.

[carolmaresca]

Excuse me!!!
Criminals damaged Stonehenge

[jeremylos]

Something like this happens in front of me, I’m going to jail.

[SteveJohnson-ry]

50 lashes. 5 years hard labor. Sentences served concurrently

Wow, that will help the public support of them. Just like blocking traffic.

When Rishi Sunak calls you a disgrace and he’s right, you’ve hit a new low

[dinoskywalker]

I myself stand for environmental protection, but I would never go as far as vandalizing an ancient landmark!

[billywest]

Im all for stopping our dependance on oil, but has these defacing public things ever worked? If they want things to change, run for office and be the change. This is just throwing a temper tantrum

[FadeintotheShadows]

Bro nothing is sacred to these "people" anymore. Just Stop Nonsense.
