What to do when protesters glue themselves to things?

What if we just...do nothing?

Depending on how long it lasts, our time may be known as the Adhesive-Based Protest Epoch(sy).

Glue-ins began in 1997, when anti-roadway protesters in the U.K. began using tactics like locking themselves together using arm tubes or gluing themselves to walls and fences.

Following that event:

In 1999, climate activist group Earth First! pioneered "lock-ons," where protesters use bicycle locks or other devices to chain themselves together into human blockades.

Throughout the 2000s, environmental groups like Earth First! and later Extinction Rebellion began using more adhesive tactics.

In 2009, Greenpeace activists climbed Mount Rushmore and unfurled a banner after gluing their hands to the mountain.

In 2011, Occupy Wall Street protesters glued bricks to the floor in strategic places to make it harder to remove encampments.

Generally, there is no absolute legal requirement mandating that glued or attached protesters must be forcibly removed in all situations. However, authorities do have significant discretion to remove criminal trespassers or those violating reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on speech.

You can loosen up glue w/muriatic acid.

I agree. Put up a barrier so that people don’t see the protesters, and leave them without water or toilet access.

Leave them there, and place a bottle of water just out of their reach.

I was just going to suggest, give them stronger glue.

Nah ... just back up real close, bend over, and let a few rip. Have others join in the fun!

Some idiot glued himself to the seat or some such way up high in Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open the other night during the women’s semi-final match, causing a 45-minute delay. Such idiocy.

1) Pour honey on them while they are glued.

2) Then pour a gallon of fire ants on them.

3) Walk away.

It's possible that urine will dissolve those glues.

I don't know that for a fact - but I believe every theory should be put to the test.

It might take a whole lot of it to begin to act on the stronger glues, but we can't give up on them. Form a line.

I saw the answer in the Watchman movie, when Rorshache tied an inmates arms between the cell door and the cell.
