Nine demonstrators who glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen dealership in Germany to protest climate change are set for a cold and dark night.
When time came to shut up shop, Volkswagen staff locked the doors and switched off the lights and heating, leaving the protestors on the concrete ground.
The protestors, who are all reportedly scientists, claim the carmaker accepted their right to protest but neglected to make their lives any easier for the duration of the demonstration.
'They refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating,' one of the protestors, Gianluca Grimalda, said on Twitter.
He said some of the protestors are also on hunger strike until their demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met.
'We can't order our food, we must use the one provided by Volkswagen. Lights off. Random unannounced checks by security guards with bright torches,' he said.

100% spot on.

I read the comments at the link.
Not one shred of sympathy for them.
The comments are worthy of FR.
In about 7-10 days their bodies will shed old skin cells and they will be able to get back to work.
Bean burritos would be a good choice.
And they have an obligation to do so because????
Same deal with the art museum idiots. Let them stay where they are as a new addition to the exhibits.
Or those famous VW bratwursts.

Something I already knew, but did not have enough forethought to buy ahead of time. Thus my one handed drive to a local superstore with my fingers and one number of my address sign all glued together

Should do the same for protesters who glue themselves to the roadway. Maybe give them a traffic cone.
I looked on Amaz*n for the sugar free Haribo gummies but they are no longer sold by the manufacturer, at least online.
Can’t order them any, since it might be a counterfeit product.
That would have been a sight on the security cameras.
But no trespassing charges?
I read that a large store, prone to shoplifting in an area where the local Democrat government was indifferent to shoplifting, even telling police to ignore shoplifting calls, came up with a novel idea against it.
They created a fortified, soundproofed room, with just a metal chair and metal table, both bolted to the concrete floor, and a bucket. When they caught a shoplifter, after taking back the stolen goods, and wallets, purses and any other accessories, they told them they had “contacted the police”, though they hadn’t, since they would be ignored.
And they stayed there until the end of the evening clean up shift was finished. Say if the store closed to customers at midnight, the clean up shift would finish around 2-4am.
Then they would give them back their stuff, put them outside, lock the doors, and turn off the lights.
The hope was that given the misery of sitting on a cold metal chair, with nothing to do, no one to talk to for hours, and finally getting thrown out in the early morning would convince them of the error of their ways.
Cold, hunger and fatigue can be wonderful teachers.
