The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

    That would be “crime”.

    A felony is a type of crime which doesn’t exist here.

    You can’t just get upset if someone points out you’ve used a word wrong. Words have meanings and while getting it wrong, especially as a second language, isn’t bad, it’s still incorrect and can be confusing (e.g. most people would assume you’re talking about US law when you talk about felonies).

      I can get upset when instead of correcting me in the first comment, you mocked me.

      Assuming everyone’s aware of the US/UK law and their nomenclature is too much sniffing of your on farts.

      Or is it flatulence. Toots?

      Oh and lastly, the person I replied to, listed random crimes/felonies, and didn’t specify the country those crimes/felonies should be done.

        From context, it’s clear that it’d be UK action, considering JSO is a UK group.

            In this thread we’re talking about the effectiveness of JSOs methods and what they “should do” instead.

                Point to the comment in this chain where we aren’t talking about what JSO is/should be doing before I got involved, then. With a quote and a link.

                PS there’s only one comment before mine and yours and it’s talking about what JSO “should” do. I’ll save you time:

                Ffs just blow up a pipeline or sabotage parts of their infrastructure or follow the higher ups home and deface their homes

                  Right, so you think that the person thinks that vandalism of notable monuments as protest in other countries by other groups of people is fine?

                  It’s Just JSO in UK that should act differently.

                  Christ, I thought they teach this shit in schools.
