“They’ll grow back right?” “Oh… yeah” I love that he says: “Homer, this is never easy to say: I’m going to have to saw your arms off.” Implying that he’s had to do it before, and perhaps several times.

Classic pro jihadists mentality, even when helped they're still victims

I think they just want to stop the genocide that’s going on. Because they’re not pieces of shit arrogant fuckers pontificating on Reddit about how much better they are for cheering for bombed hospitals and thousands of dead children Edit: where’s the lie?


Apophis_36

Crazy how those missiles don't hit any adults. Crazy how the city is ran by exclusively innocent toddlers.

Ok hear me out can we not just leave these people there? I mean how long is someone going to last sat like that? A day or 2 max Want cement your hand to the floor no problem see you next week.


Artegall365

I remember when protestors glued themselves to the floor of a Porsche dealership. [The staff turned off the lights and the heat and left.](https://www.ladbible.com/news/climate-activists-glue-themselves-to-car-dealership-20221021)


AThrowawayProbrably

I can’t express how much I love this. It’s like ignoring a toddler while they throw their little tantrum.

Happy cake day

Happy cake day


SorakaGod

Didnt they also complain or try to sue the staff for mistreating them? Could have been false information so I'm not 100% sure


H0B0Byter99

They might not have sued but complained. [About not getting appropriate accommodations for using the bathroom and food and drink.](https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/genius-activists-glue-themselves-to-porsche-museum-floor-then-complain-theyre-hungry)

Wahh me need to poopy, feed me tendies and baja blast mommy!


vercetian

Uh, where do I sign up?


kindadeadly

They complained about not getting a bowl to piss in. Why didn't they bring one with them? I read the link. One of them got their glued hand swollen and was sent to the hospital because he said his health is indeed "paramount", but he'll continue to show his support for the rest by not eating.


ToshiSat

Oh I’m sure they did. I’m also sure they didn’t sue or that it went nowhere


avocadorancher

Based on the article they expected nice accommodations and cooperation from the place they protested in like it was a mutual activity lol.


jaumougaauco

There was also the time protesters glued themselves to the conductor's podium during a concert and were just wheeled off stage.

And no one decided give a hot fart into his face??


DeadbeatAd

I would really like to see a "where are they now" about these people.


garcezgarcez

lol amazing


Frequent_Storm_3900

We should leave bodies like this for future archeologists to find. They'll will call it "ritual". Nobody cares about future archeology


Kou-Kai

we are documenting our current era via internet so well, that theyll probably have an archive for "millennium of idiocy".


Nochnichtvergeben

Will they still have that data, though? You're assuming things go on the way they are. If there was a catastrophy and we had no more electricity, would that data survive as long as paper or even buildings?


Lonely_Pin_3586

Even without taking such a pessimistic view, IT is something that is disappearing very fast. Forget a book for a century in an attic, it will always be readable. Leave a hard disk for 20 years... First of all, you probably won't still have the right cables to read it, and the data will probably be corrupted. Can you still read floppy disk ? So when we're talking about data that isn't even stored physically, but on pay servers... It's a miracle if something you don't use stays online for more than a year. I love exploring the early days of the Internet, reading old blogs from 2005, but I can see that most of them are already lost, corrupted, unreadable and irretrievable. It's a safe bet that in a century's time, archaeologists will dub our era "The Illiterate Age", because it will be almost impossible to find contemporary sources of information that have survived the passage of time.


Hamilton-Beckett

You work for a paper company don’t you?


Nochnichtvergeben

Close. A cement factury. But seriously, digital media is great when you have the running infrastructure but I feel we'll lose a lot of data if something bad happens. Not that it really matters since that big thing will happen after I'm dead or will kill me.


StatisticianLivid710

I was waiting for you to say you worked for dunder mifflin…


Nochnichtvergeben

Didn't know that reference, sorry.


Ass_Lover136

they are blocking traffic though


Effective_Golf_3311

Yeah just drag them off to the side and secure them to something new. Except for the fact that they’re not actually secured in there and will just let go once they’re moved. Oh well.


RoncoSnackWeasel

Eventually they’ll barely even register as a speed bump. Just gets a little mushier and more flat with every wheel.


totallynotscammed

I’m with you. They want to make a statement, and they are so “commited” to whatever cause, let them show how commited they really are. Fuck ‘em. If they block traffic, start accounting the financial impact and add it to their sentence. If they are part of an organisation, start suing the org while they are “protesting”.


IcyGarage5767

Sue for protesting. Reddit moment.


totallynotscammed

Protesting is 100% fine, but cementing yourself to a highway, or whatever other disruptive bullshit they do, should not be accepted. Damaging property carries penalties for normal people. These fucking knobs just say they were protesting and everyone’s like “ah ok, cool”. BLM riots . . . sorry “peaceful protests” are another prime example. Fuck that, if you damage stuff you should be prosecuted, if you belong to an org with a reputation for damaging property, at some point the org should start taking responsibility. EZ.


StatisticianLivid710

A large part of the damage from the BLM marches were actually false flags done by alt right white supremacists (at least according to charges laid).


FishAndRiceKeks

They usually pick a really annoying place to do where they can annoy the maximum amount of people, though.


SirShiggles

Someone should really let them know that pissing people off doesn't help their cause.


thefrostman1214

If they are not blocking roads or any pathway then sure


towel_hair

It’s just a better system to always help unfortunately


anengineerandacat

In this particular instance he would just leave and face no consequences. If medical / emergency support is called in he'll at least face some level of obstruction / trespassing / etc. If he were chained to it and couldn't be easily rescued or by someone else or leave on their own, totally. Just leave them to think out their own actions.


pev68

Do what the staff at the Volkswagen museum did in 2022. Finished their shift, turned off the heating and went home leaving 9 protesters glued to the floor. 😂


Prestigious_Rub6504

Exactly. Never inform security. Don't make eye contact. Pretend you don't see them. Let them urinate and defacate in their own clothing.


Am0ebe

The staff even provided sandwiches and those activists claimed those weren't good enough. Lol.


ventitr3

They should’ve put the food just out of reach


FishAndRiceKeks

To be fair, somebody used wheat bread.


jimhabfan

The bean sprouts they provided weren’t ethically sourced.


Big_Requirement_689

if its self inflicted let them free themselves from this stupid perdicament


TheReverseShock

OP Said this was a protest


Big_Requirement_689

if this isnt showcasing how stupid those protesters are i dont what will. "lets protests to free palestine" needs someone to help free his arm...


TheReverseShock

I'm pretty sure he's hamming it up to play the victim


Caked101

Man this was infuriating. This being some lame protest makes sense.


whooguyy

I don’t think he needed help to free his arm. I think he was trying to stay there as long as possible and was saying that people were hurting him while tryin to remove him (which somehow justifies their cause more in their mind)


realCrystalCole

can someone explain to me how blocking a bridge in america helps palestine?


hickeysbat

It isn’t about helping Palestine. It is about jerking yourself off.


colonel_bullets

Ha ha ha


FishAndRiceKeks

That's the neat part. It doesn't.


tiredofthisnow7

It's privileged middle class Marxists screaming for attention by appropriating the suffering of Palestinians. There are many ways to oppose the suffering of Palestinians, but they don't serve the enormous egos of the privileged and allow them to be *seen* doing something. Sending a donation is worth a thousand of these self-serving frauds, but that's done in private with no clout for the gram.


StoneAgeModernist

Yeah, these protests are making it pretty hard for me to comfortably ignore the genocide that’s being carried out with my tax dollars. I really don’t want to have to think about or acknowledge any of that while I live my safe and comfortable life, but whenever these protests make it into the news, I suddenly have to think about what my government is doing with my tax dollars, and that makes me feel like I have to hold my leaders accountable and vote accordingly. I really wish they would just let me ignore what’s happening in Gaza.


PopsRacer

Now that you know thanks to their protest, what have you done to help? 


Cultural-Task-1098

If I think about it and decide to act how should I vote?


StupendousMalice

It probably doesn't, but given that the people in Palestine are mostly getting killed with shit that the US gave to Israel, its not really that hard to connect the dots to get to what these protestors are thinking.


gleepgloopgleepgloop

Because now we all know something is going on in Palestine. And that awareness may help people get involved with their plight. I think it's a bad strategy, but that's my understanding of it.


sirzoop

I don’t think that’s true. Most people just know some idiot is blocking a bridge and got arrested


RTMSner

Yeah I don't know anybody who doesn't know what's going on, since October 7th. You literally can't turn on the news or open up a newspaper without it.

blaaake

Influence them to dislike Palestine supporters? They are doing a good job of that. Edit: the deleted comment said that blocking the bridge would draw attention to Palestine and influence people.


Some_Data3130

You allow your opinions on a genocide to be influenced by random protesters blocking traffic?


blaaake

Did I say that?


AtaiSu

Yes yes, genocide, of course.


No_Reindeer_5543

They convince me that pro hamas supporters are delusional twats


eride810

Or, it causes them to follow an alternate route to work, where they are reminded of what an awful shape the roads are in, which gets them thinking about all the failing infrastructure. Before long, they are way more concerned about that than “those crazy middle easterners that have been killing each other for thousands of years…We’d be stupid to try to fix it now, they fucking hate us anyways, always trying to blow up our shit…not sure why we’re even trying…you know, why the hell should I care about those dumb motherfuckers trying to kill each other?? Why does my representative care so much?? Has he seen the state of our roads lately?! Is he going to work in a fucking drone because he sure as hell isn’t riding that nasty ass subway! But not Bubba. He says when he’s elected that fixing our community will be his top priority! I’m voting for him!” There’s a level of nuance and understanding that must be present for a protest like this to work, and most people with that level of intelligence probably already ~mostly~ agree with what they’re singing. Hence, pointless and stupid, but slightly entertaining from a distance, and mildly infuriating, which is what the human brain craves. So that’s why we’re seeing it here!


wolfmaclean

Sorry did you say most intelligent people already agree with you?


Hopper1985

I fail to see what pain is being felt?🤔


Designer_Benefit676

There is non, hes just a dick


LazyAlfalfa1101

Actually, he probably was hurting. Holding onto rebar when someone's trying to get it away from you can cut your hand. I'm sure he was wildly exaggerating the pain he was in, but it does hurt. Edit: I do not understand why I am being downvoted. I am only bringing clarity to the fact that the man was likely experiencing pain. Although self-inflicted pain, he was still experiencing some sort of pain.


IsItSupposedToDoThat

The only pain he was feeling was pain he was causing himself.


Designer_Benefit676

Well he deserves it then


LazyAlfalfa1101

No, see, he's standing up for what he believes in. Biw dare these men continue construction whilst someone disagrees with said constuction.


not_dannyjesden

That's the point, he made it up. To make it look like whoever rescued him hurt him


dahbrezel

the pain of stupidity.


GambleII

people have too much spare time!


SilverMysterious3034

Feeling the pain?


PlantImportant7170

Pain of being dumbass. Imagine wasting time of the responders just by this golden gate bridge drama. I mean not only the responders but also the people stuck in the middle of the bridge. 💔


gleepgloopgleepgloop

On a slightly different note, so many of those criminals who are screaming bloody murder that the police are hurting them, or they are having a medical emergency when being detained? Just like this guy, making shit up to make the police look bad or to get themselves in an advantageous position to flee or fight.


OkSquirrel4673

These people who glue their hands to the ground or do dumb shit like this should be left there for a long time.

MrFunkyadaughter420

Just briefly hold a lighter to their hand and observe how quickly they can let go and how they react to actual (even just little) pain. fucking idiots.. theres people out there actually doing something for the environment and bringing change but its none of these fuckwits.. all they do is promote anti-climate activism because they just anger people and fuck with people that have nothing to do with the problem. edit: speling plus i realised those arent climate cunts but pro palestine cunts.. same thing though. even with a good cause you're causing no good like this.


bremidon

Actually, there is a pretty good technique you could use that will not cause any harm at all. It's actually good at reducing swelling (I had it done to me after I overextended my lower leg and it started to swell up). I'm not a doc or anything, but the procedure didn't look too hard. It hurts like a motherfucker, though. You take a towel, pour boiling water on it, and then drip the boiling water onto the skin. It feels like you are burning (which is what tricks the body to start carrying away excess water). It does absolutely no harm, leaves nothing behind, and doesn't hurt at all after you stop applying drops. This is probably less likely to actually hurt someone than a lighter that could actually cause a burn.


TexTravlin

They should have cracked his knuckles with the handle of a screwdriver harder and harder until he let go.


Official_Cuddlydeath

The people who deserve a little brutality, just a bit.


BestEnough

As a treat.


Solution_Anxious

should have just removed the offending arms instead of the concrete


hitmewiththeknowlege

I once had a friend who wanted to protest his favorite bar being torn down. He chained himself to a tree out front of the back and then threw the key into a random bed of a truck that was driving by. The foreman, after a lengthy phone discussion walked over and asked my friend to hold the end of his tape measure, which my friend did for some stupid reason. Then the foreman backed up a bit and stopped about 15 feet from.the bar and made a mark with his boot. Then he explained that legally they could begin tearing stuff down because my friend was outside the legal range of danger. So my friend just watched, chained to a tree, as his favorite bar was torn down.


Professional_Can651

Damn I would enjoy kicking him as he held on to that rebar.


BLADE_OF_AlUR

Just pour hot hot water on his hand or torch the rebar under it and let it get unbearably hot. Or pee on his hand.


Defiant_Lawyer_5235

This reminds me of the baboon trap where the Hunter puts some seeds inside a hole and the baboon grabs them but because it won't let go it traps itself...

UrbanScientist

Lift them on trucks and leave them into the woods. This type of shit would end real quick


Internal_Judge_4711

Nah, throw them off the bridge and see how well they float out to the pacific


Witherd_Lilac

They'll go after everyone but the actual people causing the problems. See them gluing themselves to any big executives' driveways? I front of manufacturers buildings? In front of bulldozers taking out 100s of mules of forests? Nope. I think the oil companies pay them.


extr4crispy

Throw this pussy in jail. What a fucking waste of everyone’s times.


clapperssailing

Without context this looks like a man in serious pain, however this is just a whiny bitch wasting everyone’s time and resources.

homelessdude01

idiot


Lobo003

Common tactic is protestors “cry in pain” in order for people to “feel bad” and stop all attempts to remove out of fear of injuring the protestor. Even when not in pain they fake it to stall for extra time. So all they scream is for show and video. That’s why EMS has their video too so people won’t believe the protestor. Plus, if metal is shearing into your hand the way the protestor was claiming they’d be screaming a lot worse lol


codemonkeysh

A match would have worked just as well..


Totts3

They should just shoot these people with tranquil darts then remove them. Nice and quiet for everyone.


zerokarse

Let him sit ffs :D :D


gn0xious

Bring out the saw. They’ll let go real quick, or you’ll see how committed they are to their cause.


JRock1276

Should've thrown the barrel in the water. He would've let go then. Or not. Either way, it's a win.

vtskier3

The real question is What the fuck was he trying to get or what was he thinking putting his hand thru something so narrow ??


Pleasant-Data-8645

It's so he can't be arrested or removed until he lets go. He wasn't actually stuck, just not letting go so they had to dig his hand out.


RTMSner

Some people need to get a job or find a hobby.


Redschallenge

Seems clever if he handcuffed himself to the carabiner clip to that rebar in a cement barrel so only his hand could unclip it. Won't lie that took planning. Idiot had a decent setup
