The U.S. Open semifinal match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova was developing into a classic showdown when an unexpected disruption occurred.

Three climate change kooks stood up and began chanting something unintelligible. Two of the protesters were escorted out of the venue almost immediately. But the third nutcase actually glued his bare feet to the concrete floor. It took authorities almost an hour to free him.

If it had been up to me, a couple of strategic cuts would have allowed the match to continue much sooner.

The US Open semifinal was interrupted by climate change protestors, including a man who glued his feet to the ground as a way of protest.

This is becoming disturbingly common. At the prestigious Wimbledon tennis tournament in July, two matches were disrupted by climate protesters who ran out of the stands and threw orange confetti on the grass surface. At another tournament in Washington, D.C., several protesters interrupted the action by chanting and displaying signs opposing fossil fuels.

Did anyone ask how the protesters traveled to the event? Car? Horse? A horse wouldn’t have been climate friendly because of all the methane the animal releases. Even a bicycle is environmentally unfriendly, given the enormous amount of carbon spewed into the air to make one.

If some reporter wanted to ‘earn their pay’ they would do a nice back story on who these jerky protesters are...

I’m guessing loser kids of ‘elites’ who don’t have the ‘elite’ connections to sell our their countries to third world hellholes. So they do this... spoiled brats - striking back at Daddy by proxy.

That’s what I was thinking. Make the actions have consequences.

where are last week’s “Tribal Police” when we need them. They made quick work of the protesters on the road to Burning Man.

That would be my preferred solution. I thought he was attached to the playing court. Given that it was in the stands, I would have chosen as a second solution to cuff him to the chair, tape his mouth shut and let his friends come unglue him long after the event was over and the stands empty.

That’s when you get a group of enthusiastic friends together with sawed off baseball bats and tell the lil’ goofball “You really didn’t think this through...”
