A 'woke' anti-capitalist agitator attempted to scale the Chase Bank building in Manhattan, New York, ending up falling 15 ft after losing his grip.

Enjoy!

I was hoping that this news had been updated to: “suffers permanent debilitating injuries ... ... to his ego”.

One cannot plummet 15 feet.

The height must be 50 feet or more to achieve plummeting

However, regardless of height, the acceleration of the fall is always 32 feet per second per second

More info:

https://freedomnews.tv/2021/04/02/protester-plummets-after-climbing-bank-wall-in-midtown/

An ambulance was requested to the scene and paramedics took the injured protester away in a neck brace.

The protest was originally scheduled to bring attention to big banks in the city who are funding an oil pipeline called Line 3.

Multiple locations in the city had climbers scaling walls and scaffolding to deliver their message.

Nypost said that they spoke to protester’s sister who stated that Kevin Clarke’s “pelvic area has been shattered in multiple places,” and his right elbow is also broken. “He won’t be able to move for several months.”

“What I can tell you is that he was a small business owner in Manhattan whose business was devastated by the COVID crisis,” she said he had joined Extinction Rebellion to fight climate change.

He was charged with reckless endangerment.

Kevin’s family has set up a gofundme me https://www.gofundme.com/f/climate-activist-kevin-clarke-needs-your-help?member=9815988&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer

Extinction Rebellion are a climate activist group who do creative performative actions for climate related causes. They often use climate safe materials for their actions, like washable chalk spray instead of spray paint.

Activists were seen cleaning up after their actions during most of the events we covered over the years.

Information about Pipe Line 3, the subject of the protest, can be found here: http://www.stopline3.org: “Line 3 is a proposed pipeline expansion to bring nearly a million barrels of tar sands per day from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. It was proposed in 2014 by Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline company responsible for the largest inland oil spill in the US. Enbridge seeks to build a new pipeline corridor through untouched wetlands and the treaty territory of Anishinaabe peoples, through the Mississippi River headwaters to the shore of Lake Superior. “

Having watched the vid when it came out, the building owner/management is in the legal clear because the climber was told to get down by security and he ignored them, and put himself in danger despite repeated warnings.

Too bad that he lived

Had he died, he would have become a martyr

“Climate safe?” Define that. Something like “social justice?”

Otherwise, the ultimate slip and fall.

Slimy lawyers would be lined up around the block.

So...the supposed anti-Capitalist is himself a business owner (he owns a company with no employees) but participates in an attack on another business?

https://nypost.com/2021/04/03/eco-warrior-who-fell-from-chase-bank-is-nyc-business-owner-sister/

He needs to have FASCIST HYPOCRITE painted across his face.

He won’t be able to move for several months.”

I'd say the climate of his life has changed.

On the video at 1:03 one of his fellow protestor commies yells “Call 911” How cosmically ironic.

He’s going to be in a lot of pain for a looooooong time. Predict addiction to hydrocodone or something similar in his future.

That should be 1/2 GT^2 And the distance the first second is 16 feet.[1/2 (*32*1*1)].

He had one second to second guess his pretend ninja powers.

That’s the same height they threw those two little girls over the border wall yesterday. They were left to fend for themselves in the desert.

Now, Kevin Clarke, 32, is screaming for pain meds and handcuffed to his hospital bed in Bellevue, his pelvis shattered from the caught-on-video, 30-foot plunge, sister Nicole Clarke said by phone from Los Angeles.

Clarke’s “pelvic area has been shattered in multiple places,” and his right elbow is also broken, his sister said. “He won’t be able to move for several months.”


The "stupid prizes" we often mention here.

There’s always the city of NY for making those sidewalks so hard
