‘Hypocritical’ climate protesters attacked for morning commute disruption

Published



The early morning commute in London was interrupted when protesters who were associated with Extinction Rebellion climbed on top of trains waving signs demanding action on climate legislation.

Trains ground to a halt in several high-traffic locations as protesters hoisted signs from the top of the trains that said “Business As Usual = Death!” while being filmed by several cameramen. Protesters were met with furious commuters whose travel to work was stymied by the protesters’ actions. Several commuters snapped pictures and took video of the protesters as they were dragged off the trains and beaten and kicked on the ground by Londoners with no patience for a disruption to their commute over climate change.
