A pair of climate protesters hurled tomato soup on a Vincent Van Gogh painting at London's National Gallery Friday — the latest in a series of attempts to vandalize famous artwork to speak against oil.
London’s Metropolitan Police said officers arrested two people on suspicion of criminal damage and aggravated trespass.
The duo were supporters of the activist group Just Stop Oil, which engages in publicity stunts to bring the public’s attention to climate change.

Somebody needs to tell these morons that OIL paintings use plant-based oils. And this is evidence once again that, with the leftards, you just cannot have nice things.

Mission accomplished. They got their press exposure. That art lovers fret is immaterial. Like Sydney Greenstreet spitting on that conference table in The Hucksters, it may be disgusting, and you’ll never forget it.

Chop their hands off with an axe and leave them glued to the wall. Place a placard near the hands: “we were stupid”, living sculpture, Oct 2022.

I’m thinking about a conservative activist group, “Just Hang the Punks.”

I've seriously been considering, for some time, creating a t-shirt with the words "Support Big Oil" on the front and maybe an oil rig on the back, just to make Massachusetts liberal heads explode.

As a retaliation to these fools,
pro Oil supporters should throw sunflower oil at Andy Warhols Tomato Soup Can painting.

These fools made me roll my eyes so far back I could almost see my own birth. But #8 made me laugh just in time to keep me grounded in the present.

This violence is typical of the left and communists. It's time to jail them with long sentences to deter future attacks and to keep these criminal off the streets. Oh, by the way Van Gogh never drove a car.

Sorry they chose the Van Gogh. Should have souped a Jackson Pollack work, but nobody would have noticed.

Just go to prison for 90 days. You will learn to really appreciate Tomato Soup.

The purpose of this action and others like it has one ultimate goal. Communism.
The “fundamental transformation” from freedom & liberty to Communist domination. Whether all of those who carry out these kinds of actions even understand the difference, or that they are just as expendable to their instigators as that artwork is to them is unlikely.

This is pure, unmitigated evil. You cannot reason, bargain or negotiate with it. It must be destroyed.

Too bad someone did not have a chain saw and start it up. "get your hand off the wall and clean this mess up or LOSE A HAND".
Ya know it would only take 1 time and 1 hand.

It would be sad indeed if they were "shot trying to escape."
