they tried breaking through the glass protecting the painting first, so they could destroy the actual painting
Well that’s just straight up not true. Not only did they not try to break the glass, they did research in advance to ensure that the art was appropriately sealed to ensure they didn’t damage it. If your argument is so shaky that you feel the need to just fucking lie to make the people you don’t like look worse, maybe you might want to reconsider your stance instead of just committing even harder.
Since you’re inevitably going to go “yEs ThEy DiD”, here’s a video of them doing it to get that over with in advance.
a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.
is there any actual footage of said visitor trying to smash the bullet proof glass covering the mona lisa or is this literally just based off the one tweet news orgs seem to reference
this guy also is not associated with just stop oil from what i can tell
it seems pretty disingenuous to judge the demonstration in the post, or anyone supporting it, because ‘some completely unrelated guy did something completely unrelated once’
The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.
Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.
And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.
Oh, and the fun part. I 100% think we should reduce fossil fuel emissions.
Unfortunately, the Just Stop Oil geniuses are so hellbent on being attention-seeking tools that they destroy all of the credibility behind their cause.

Edit: “won’t someone please think of the poor display cases?!”
Jesus man, the planet is dying and you’re upset about a pane of glass getting soup on it - get your damn priorities straight

I really hate to break it to you, but that isn’t the Mona Lisa.
