A 10-year jail sentence is warranted

the protesters also forgot that they would never get their hands on Heinz vegetable soup if it wasn't for oil and gas industry !

Oh, yeah, Sunflowers was destroyed? No worries, it’s just a painting after all. Like, who cares about a little canvas with some oil on it? It's not like it's the Mona Lisa, the Statue of Liberty, or, I don’t know, the Great Wall of China. Those are just rocks and metal anyway, right? Imagine if we lost Shakespeare’s works—just a bunch of old paper! Or the Sistine Chapel—just some pigment on a ceiling. Honestly, we’re probably better off without these trivial cultural touchstones. It's not like they represent human achievement or anything. Lets get back to the cave man days!

See, covered by glass.
You good now? lol

Kinda like the world "leaders, politicians and business people" flying on private jets that spit out massive amounts of carbon, all to get in a circle jerk and plan on how we should live our lives.

I would sentence the perps to the maximum incarceration and add that they can not use petroleum based transportation and petroleum made products for 5 years.

I fail to see how throwing soup on a piece of Van Gogh's art is going to accomplish anything these protesters wanted.

They drew attention to themselves for being fucking idiots, not to climate change or to the assholes running the oil industry.

It's was painted in the 1800s. Seriously is this real. Are these people that fucked where they believe the way to take down big oil is to destroy a painting from 200 years ago.

Too bad the UK doesn’t have SuperMax jails.

They do. They use them for Facebook posters.
