Middle class virtue signalers met with little enthusiasm from working class commuters.
Angry Londoners furious at having their lives disrupted dragged Extinction Rebellion climate change protesters from the roof of a train this morning.
The incident happened at Canning Town Tube station, located in Londons poor east end a particularly stupid venue for Extinction Rebellion activists to try to pull such a stunt.
One decidedly middle class looking protester climbed on top of the train but was pelted with objects before being dragged back down to the platform.
London Underground staff had to intervene to prevent the protesters getting a substantial beating.

today is sunny with a good chance of whooped ass...
There is another close up video of the first protestor that was dragged off the train getting rewarded with several kicks and thumps.
No they didn't.
A good start... What we really need is a new inquisition.
This blasphemy called ‘climate science’ is rotting the minds of young children like that poor Greta Thunberg. Burning a few of them at the stake would go down fine with me.
We The People...
Perhaps our friends from the UK are waking up.
In think Bedlam Insane Asylum is still in operation in Beckenham, Kent. Maybe they could commit all the “Climate Change Believers” there: Bethlem Royal Hospital. They’ll probably have to enlarge the facilities.
Now, those are the blunt, outspoken Englishmen I’ve always heard about. They’re not gonna take it!
Enough of this bloody nonsense.
How heart warming! Such a feel good story!
Another case of cops coming in to protect the bad guys....
Sometimes I think that mob justice is better than the state-controlled justice.
I think this is the first time in I don’t know how many years that I’ve had a thought about Europe that wasn’t totally unpleasant.
Hopefully this small sliver of hope won’t be snuffed out.
I didn't see them in the videos doing much to help the lefties.
Commuters: “We’ve got to get to work.”
Commmunists: “We don’t got no work to get to.”
Important lesson: beat the hell out of such protestors before the authorities intervene to protect them.
Typical.
In some cases, I agree that mob justice can be the way - the only problem is that we also have so many opportunists who will use any reason to run amok and wreak violence for the sake of violence and/or political agendas....like our very own Antifa.
I usually visualize such mob justice using my own moral compass and have to give pause to allow for what others may do.
I know - my comment was semi tongue-in-cheek after reading the line that said the authorities had to step in to prevent the “protesters” from taking extra beatings.
The cops were really just doing their jobs and my thoughts were that the protesters could use a little incentive to stop screwing with regular citizens to further their cause....of course, we have to take into account that when “mob justice” occurs, there are too many peripheral opportunists who will go overboard or even kill to further their own causes...
