Fourth Tour de France Protest - Fans Dragged Their Asses Off The Course

Your feel good story of the day!
[Daily Mail UK] - Tour de France fans took matters into their own hands yesterday as they angrily removed a gang of eco-protesters threatening to disrupt the historic bike race by sitting in the middle of the road to block oncoming riders.

Eight climate activists from French campaign group Dernière Rénovation (Last Renovation) sporting T-shirts emblazoned with the message 'we have 978 days left' to tackle environmental decline tried to stop the race during the 20th stage between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadouron on Saturday.

But their attempts to wreak havoc at the stage were thwarted by spectators, who stormed onto the road and dragged them out of the path of the oncoming bikes even before the police arrived on the scene to make arrests.

#1 I suspect that an examination of the protesters’ history would reveal membership in a number of Black Bloc organizations, each ostensibly grassroots responses to a variety of shockingly different issues.
