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.

Let's not forget this merry band of dimwitted drama queens encasing themselves in barrels of cement to block a Boston highway:

A good shot of pepper spray will complete their experience.

...leave them without water or toilet access.

Better yet, leave them plenty of water but no toilet access.

Put up a fence around them with a sign that says “Don’t feed the animals”.

Beat the sh** out of them while they are lying there helpless. Do this a few times and it will stop.

>>Back a dump truck full of horse manure and unload it on the protesters.<<

Best answer yet! Actually ANY kind of manure will do!

You want something that REALLY STINKS? Pour the contents of a liquid fly trap with lots of dead flies on them. Everyone within fifty yards down wind will puke.

I think most should be left there.

Exactly, eventually the will need a bathroom, food, sleep. I think best is to place loud, obnoxious music just out of their reach. Maybe bright flashing lights at night, etc..... Enjoy your protest dude!

Yep. We had cluster flies and made the mistake of vacuuming them. When we emptied the bag oh my word it stunk

Take their backpack. Douse them with bottled critter urine from the sporting goods store. Put up a fence around them. Let them figure it out.

Surgically remove their arms. Cauterize with hot poker
