BERLIN (AP) – Climate activists glued themselves to the ground at Cologne-Bonn Airport in western Germany on Wednesday, forcing officials to suspend flights for a few hours, authorities said.

Police said five people glued themselves to a taxiway at the airport early in the morning, German news agency dpa reported. Flights were suspended for about three hours from about 5:45 a.m. while officers worked to remove the protesters.

The airport said that 31 flights were canceled and six had to be diverted.

📣 An international uprising w/ actions at airports to demand a #FossilFuelTreaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030 has started!

“I keep trying to tell FReepers that hornets are an under utilized crowd control tool. Drop a few hornet nests by the protestors and they’ll “unglue” themselves.”

They’re lucky I’m not in command. I’d arrest them all and put them to work cleaning prison and jail toilets. Let them see what it’s like to actually DO something positive that cleans and contributes...vs. pollutes and takes away from, since they’re supposedly so concerned about the “environment” (glue is toxic to the environment, btw).

How about sending out a pack of rabid, foaming at-the-mouth wolves? The women on The View come to mind.

Better than driving or landing the plane right over them. Might damage the plane or those within it. But although tempting burning them off with jet exhaust is expensive. Have some guys in hazmat suits dump lye around them. Instead of melting the glue off the skin, dissolve the skin off the glue. Once free they can strip and be hosed off to stop the dissolving.

From the looks of it, they glued their clothing but not any bare skin... so while the spectacle might not be appealing, a pair of scissors would deal with things quickly.

Even my grandkids know how to take care of this type of problem even before they have glued themselves down...

Good idea. Seal off the area. Use other runways. Let them pee and poop in their clothes while dehydrating and starving on the runway. Allow them to die happy, doing what they love.

“Don’t they have snow plows?”

That would be the quick solution.

Climate weather activists are getting their way and bread clips are being replaced with cardboard ones so watch how you pick up the loaf of bread because it will end up on the floor plus paper products take 4 times more energy and pollute 50 times more water to make than plastic products ,LOL

Hahahaha! Reminded me of one of my favorite all time commercials from Outpost.com many years ago:

NOTE: These links below are a simple diversion from the burning (we hope) question about Leftist gluing themselves to roads and runways! If you aren't looking for a humorous diversion...skip to the next post!


LINK: Outpost.com Advertisement Marching Band with Ravenous Wolves

Just hilarious...and they got so much blowback from people about this one, I think it made them stop airing the commercials:

Or...it actually might have been this one that shut them down:

I guess it would be hard on the aircraft to just roll over them...
