Extinction Rebellion activists fill golf course holes with CEMENT in protest against greens being exempt from water ban in France as country battles extreme drought
2022-08-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Extinction Rebellion
    ...yet another tentacle of the international Black Bloc/anarcho-communist syndicate that includes Antifa and Black Lives Matter, Inc. Extinction Rebellion (XR) is reportedly present in fifty countries and receives much of its funding from hedge fund manager Sir Chris Hohn and the Climate Emergency Fund founded by Rory Kennedy (daughter of former U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy) and Aileen Getty (a granddaughter of former U.S. oil businessman Jean Paul Getty)...
    targeted courses in Vieille-Toulouse and Blagnac

  • The group said golf was the 'leisure industry of the most privileged'

  • French residents are banned from watering their gardens or washing their cars in some areas, but the golf industry is except from the nation-wide water ban

  • Half of EU land is currently under a drought warning because of heatwaves


How the Germans deal with the eco-mob! Riot police crack down on green protesters trying to bring Hamburg to a standstill by using batons, pepper spray and water cannon

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Dozens of protesters attempted to block the Kattwyk Railway Bridge leading to the harbour in Hamburg

  • Police said some used pepper spray, before they used it back and employed batons to disperse the blockade

  • The sit-down protest was one in a series of demonstrations involving more than 1,000 people across the city

  • The eco-mob, led by Ende Gelande - which translates to 'here and no further' -was protesting against climate crisis and new LNG terminals being built

  • Ahead of their action, Extinction Rebellion, who were also involved, said: 'We are blocking a central hub of German foreign trade here to draw attention to the consequences of modern colonialism.'
The sit-down on the bridge was one in a series of blockades involving more than 1,000 people at different locations, designed to 'interrupt cargo traffic' in protest against 'the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure and colonial supply chains.'

The police's tough stance is in stark contrast to British forces, whose officers will often merely 'observe' as the likes of Insulate Britain cause nine-mile tailbacks with their 'sit-down protests' on major roads, or while Just Stop Oil zealots glue their hands to historic artworks at the National Gallery.

#3  Maximum risk for crimes committed. Minimal return for the damages to be negated. I figure they delayed someone’s tee time by an hour or less. If at all.
