    They were lucky because there are some Italians that would have just dumped them off the overpass.

    “According to Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport, the protesters were part of Last Generation, a branch of global environmental group Extinction Rebellion.

    The organisation was calling for an end to all fuel extraction projects, and that Italy does not restart its coal-plants, instead prioritising wind and solar options.

    In December, Last Generation protesters blocked another major road in Rome, urging the government to take action on the climate crisis.”

    In December, Last Generation protesters blocked another major road in Rome, urging the government to take action on the climate crisis.

    Demonstrators dressed in hi-vis vests gathered along the Maglianella viaduct on the A90 motorway, where claimed they were slapped, kicked and spat on by enraged drivers.

    It was the first time the group used a road-block tactic as part of demonstrations, a method popularised by Extinction Rebellion protesters in the United Kingdom.

    In 50 years we probably are going to think those were the sane people.

    it’s such a dangerous way to protest, not to mention it’s annoying…all it takes is 1 crazy person to turn them into IHOP orders

    Ineffective protest
    Like Mike D’Antoni’s offense in the playoffs

    Completely legal to run them over in some places too.

    I deleted most social media but I used to get all sorts of disgusting ads that said Black Lives Splatter.

    I will say though, if a protest isn't annoying...it's not a protest. Not that protesting actually changes anything. Riots change things (usually for the worse). Protesting is just a fun activity to not enact any real or personal change.

    not sure what sites or online groups you’re visiting where you’re getting “black lives splatter” ads

    Usually reposts from family members or friends of friends. I also have some cop friends and cop adajcent family members who'd share stuff like that with like Punisher logos. Also my ads on facebook got a LOT more conservative when I changed my location to GA and joined a few SEC fan pages. I started getting ads for daughters of confederate veterans when I moved here and changed my profile to female...so I guess that's some progress? Maybe we can call them TIRFs (trans-inclusionary racist fascist southeners).

    I think he ment "memes" on places like Facebook which I've seen before also. I also have a lot of right wing former peers on my friends list due to my time in the military.

    Well memes, but then also I'll see shirts that say it shortly after as well. I tried cleaning up my ad algorithm so many times but got all sorts of crazy ads; some of which included things like conversion therapy.

    Probably doesn't help my Grandma has eight different facebook accounts, added me on all of them, and is a big trump supporter. She also can barely remember what month it is, so I can't give too much hate.
