A climate activist affixed an adhesive poster to a Monet painting at the Musée d’Orsay Saturday. The woman, who said she intended to raise awareness for climate change, was arrested.
The stunt was carried out by a member of Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response), a group of environmental activists and defenders of sustainable food production in response to the climate crisis. The group has been targeting museums across Europe for years, including most recently a protest at the Louvre last month.
A video on X showed the activist sticking an adhesive barren red landscape on top of Claude Monet’s 1873 painting Coquelicots, saying, according to the Guardian, “this nightmarish image awaits us if no alternative is put in place”.
The French Impressionist’s work depicts people with umbrellas roaming through a blooming poppy field. Unlike works like Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, which has been the subject of much backlash, it was not protected by glass.
Just start shooting these people.
Singapore’s response would be a public caning.
I think that’s the proper answer to this BS
“Just start shooting these people.”
I’m not ready to go that far.
However, a rather vicious assault on the person’s hands with a hammer should cure them of any future ideas.
Think of the movie “Casino” - but with more hammer strikes...
Turn her into fertilizer. For Gia.
Make her write a hundred times, it takes Monet to buy Degas that makes the Van Gogh. That will mess with her climate-controlled brain.
Public hangings will stop this destruction of culture.
My first thought, too.
They should punish on a curve, like maybe a slap for a Jackson Pollock, and a Saigon-style bullet to the head for a Monet....
They should punish on a curve, like maybe a slap for a Jackson Pollock
They should get the key to the city for that!
The acts against the cultural heritage of France and the Western World should be taken seriously. The authorities can’t let this continue.
The devil hates beauty and so...climate protestor retards are willing tools.
Who were the morons that decided to put this valuable painting on display without glass?
First offense - Singapore response
Second offense - Saudi response
“this nightmarish image awaits us if no alternative is put in place”.
I’m sure she doesn’t see the irony.
Certainly a long prison sentence is reasonable.
These people are not “climate activists”. They are anarchists and should be addressed as such and treated as such.
Their goal has nothing to do with “climate”. It is destruction of a currently (and barely) civilized society.
You destroy my property, I take you out. Really very simple but not going to happen. A society of eunuchs is doomed because it cannot perpetuate itself.
there’s something really super SICKO in western society...
really SICKO
1. supporting mass-murdering Fakestinian Arab Islamic terrorists who also torture and gangrape their innocent abductees, kidnap victims
2. protesters of all sorts that vandalize masterpiece paintings in art museums, block traffic on public roads and highways, paint obscene garbage on public and private property, mob-raid and loot stores or entire shopping malls,
chant obscene and threatening singsongs at innnocent passers-by, prevent students from attending classes, you name it...
all destructive and many dangerous or threatening things...
mostly unconnected with their alleged “causes”
these people are dangerous and need to be removed from society.. and frankly given mental treatment (I know, tax funds...understood!) but ... otherwise save the $$ and just put them up against the firing squad and be done with them (after due process conviction of course)
it has come down to one or the other
(except that where it is IslamoNazis many of them can still be repatriated, returned to sender....)
we simply have to fix this problem or it will tear down USA and it seems much or most of Europe too
I think they should get a free soy latte for Jason.
No glass protection, pennywise, pound foolish. If this was a movie, the museum would have hired the perp and it’s an insurance scam masquerading as an enviro protest.
