Cromwell superglues hand to Starbucks counter to protest Starbuck's upcharge for vegan milk

Actor James Cromwell went to great lengths while joining PETA's protest against Starbucks on Tuesday.

In a video shared by the animal rights organization, the Succession star, 82, superglued his hand to a counter in a New York City Starbucks to protest the coffee chain's "senseless" upcharge for Vegan milk.

"There's no reason for it except greed," Cromwell says in part in a video shared by PETA on Facebook, later reading a letter and asking, "Will you stop charging more for vegan milk? When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals, and the environment suffer? When you will stop penalizing people for their ethnicities and morals? The senseless upcharge hurts animals."

After his message, Cromwell and other protesters begin to chant "Save the planet, save the cows. End the vegan upcharge now."

You’ve listed yourself as the author.
The article says it was written by Charmaine Patterson.

Therefore, you must be Charmaine Patterson.

Either that, or you’re trying to lie to everyone.

In the movie Idiocracy, Starbucks was the place to go for a hand job, but I don’t think this is what they meant.

Rollo Tomassi.

I liked him as "Stretch" Cunningham on "All in the Family."

Rumors Cromwell tried supergluing King Charles I head back on have been long debunked.

Acetone should do the trick.

Gone from chaining themselves to the lunch counters to protest racial segregation to supergluing themselves to the counter to protest a slight increase in the price of vegan “milk”.

Says a lot about the lack of real problems in Western society.

Nothing a can of acetone/MEK and a set of handcuffs can’t fix.

Not really hard. Super glue is water soluble. If you can soak it for a half hour or so it should come off. Otherwise the oils in your skin will break the bond in a day or two.

“what is Vegan Milk ???”

Well, the name implies that it is milk secreted by vegans.

I’m not sure why there is a demand for it though.

Sad fact I learned when having trouble finding formula for a less famous reason:

Almond milk has almost no protein in it at all. In fact, it doesn’t have much in the way of almonds, either. It’s just sugar-water.

Another sad fact:

Soy milk prevents males from sexually maturing properly.

His middle name actually is “Oliver.” What a moron. His dad was a communist during the McCarthy era.

I am the conscience of the Universe. I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look—wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build, I'll be there, too.

I am Bagster Magnifico. Fear me, O ye of the dark soul.
