Who said the Germans don’t have a sense of humor?
Nine demonstrators who glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen dealership in Germany to protest climate change are set for a cold and dark night.
When time came to shut up shop, Volkswagen staff locked the doors and switched off the lights and heating, leaving the protestors on the concrete ground.
The protestors, who are all reportedly scientists, claim the carmaker accepted their right to protest but neglected to make their lives any easier for the duration of the demonstration.
‘They refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating,’ one of the protestors, Gianluca Grimalda, said on Twitter.
He said some of the protestors are also on hunger strike until their demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met. [starve, you fuckers — Kim]
‘We can’t order our food, we must use the one provided by Volkswagen. Lights off. Random unannounced checks by security guards with bright torches,’ he said.
My position on their hardship:
Actually, my real position involves whips, Tasers and so on, but no doubt some people will have a problem with this.
