Want to do your part in saving the environment? Vandalize some art. Makes sense
What does this has to do with climate, again? I'm confused af rn
They need a psych hold on these lunatics.
They need to be studied.
What is the point?
Wow
Absolutely disgusting they need a good clip round the ear 😒
Terrorists
The art has glass over it, it's protected.. But the women are going to jail, they'll need some Campbell's soup while they are locked up😂
Why though?
It's not really too healthy especially for the heart and arteries.
How does this affec😢 climate change?
Someone doesn't like MSG
They're a joke! Not funny, just a joke!
What a bunch of idiots….like defacing art is gonna make people do anything other than hate you.
These two guys will never be women.
Blocking traffic and needlessly destroying stuff is no way to protest.
I feel this is one work of art that cannot be truly defaced by graffiti. They symbolises consumerism and factory production of art, they are not unique on to themselves.
Why?
Protesting is one thing, but defacing property is arrestable. Maybe that's what they want. Better would be to work together to solve the problems. Trouble is that some people don't want to work together, so this happens.
Instead of attacked the corporation 🥴
I'm not sure I understand.. why? Or what does an Andy Warhol painting have to do with anything? Also that piece of art is covered glass I thought? Why are activists targeting art work?… When George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis activists completely destroyed parts of the city .. for what? Also some businesses destroyed were owned by minorities … That's really handing it to the Man … Any time there are protests why do some folks resort to violence and destruction?
Why
this is not helping our planet .
Umm, can these smooth brains not see the GLASS covering the frames? Wow, what an entitled group of Karens.
I want climate change but this is just stupid
Seems like an excuse to commit a crime and throw a tantrum
where do these creatures come from?
What does ruining art have to do with climate change? No logic in these nut jobs 🤣
They are so dumb. The irony of attacking a Warhol
Stupid, worthless creatures. They can destroy, or try. But, have they created anything? This approach does not persuade me to imbrace their cause, it makes me want to oppose them harder.
People are such uneducated nitwits…
Support what you want and leave everyone else alone. Typical democrat.
Jail them..
Stop them! The art is our art, it belongs to its culture, it belongs to history!!! 😡
What in the world does destroying art work have to do with climate change, how will this actless sense of destruction achieve?
How long until we can start slamming heads into walls?
They can pay for cleaning that 😁
There are so many hungry people in the world… But I guess for these white people, the rest of the world must be sacrificed for their conscience.
I can’t understand what good does these destructive tactics do to stop global warming. Excuse me, can you use your time more wisely by doing something like planting trees and plants appropriate for a certain region. Wake up and stop wasting your time by attempting to destroy the valuable parts of our society. You are NOT helping anyone by doing this.
Climate activist but they are using aerosol spray paint, really.
I support saving our planet but this is vandalism. Another example of ignorance under mind control falsehood in our country.
