Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Britain’s Stonehenge on Wednesday, with orange marks covering some of the stones of the prehistoric megalithic structure on the eve of the summer solstice celebrations.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of damaging the ancient monument, police said in a statement.

“This is extremely upsetting and our curators are investigating the extent of the damage,” English Heritage, the charity that manages Stonehenge, said on X. Stonehenge remains open, it added.

The monument, one of Britain’s most visited tourist spots, also holds spiritual significance and attracts thousands of revellers, spiritualists and tourists during the summer solstice – the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

In video released by environmental group Just Stop Oil, two protesters were seen running towards two of Stonehenge’s megaliths and spraying paint as another person attempted to stop them.

Members of the public were able to walk around within the stone circle, located in southern England, until 1977 when it was fenced off due to concerns over damage from a sharp rise in the number of visitors.

“Just Stop Oil are a disgrace,” Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on X of the protest at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Their religion has gotten out of hand. They’re zealots of Gaia. If any other religion was acting out in this way there’d be hell to pay.

What punishment will the state give the Good Samaritan?

These people are loonies. If you shoot a few of them dead while they're conducting their destructive behavior, they might decide it wasn't worth defacing historic sites or paintings.

Just did a search for their names. I thought the old man looked Indian. Their names and age are Rajan Naidu, 73, and Niamh Lynch, 21. Wouldn't surprise me if those two were back out on the street already.

These ass clowns are too stupid to know that:

• Their electric carts are made of oil based materials.
• The clothes they wear are made of oil based materials.
• Their beloved solar panels and windmills are made of oil based materials.
• Their shoes are made of oil based materials.
• The millions of miles of highways are made of oil based materials.
• The food they eat is packaged in oil based materials.
• Their iPhones and iMacs are made of oil based materials.

They are too flippin' stupid to known that they are immersed in oil up to their eyeballs.

And what's the point of defacing Stonehenge? That'll really show 'em! At least when the Griswolds damaged Stonehenge, it was accidental and without malice.

thanks, alas did not come up in search.

How did they get up there?

[dfwgator]

Just shoot them.

[rktman]

😂. But, but, but search still works. Except when it doesnt. 👍

[Fai Mao]

Don’t shoot them, beat them to death

[dfwgator]

That works for me too.

As people begin to warm up in this hemisphere, as Summer heats up, drug induced hysteria will cause more irrational behavior. Leftnickism is always a mental illness. I’m waiting for the suicides by self-torchings using gasoline.

Stand ‘em up, tie ‘em up tnen empty the paint canisters on ‘em ... before hauling them off to the Old Bailey where, hoefully, the inmates can help them get in touch with their “feminine side”.
