Climate Change Soup-Throwers Sentenced To Time In Prison

Two global warming protesters who threw cans of tomato soup over the glass frame of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflower” painting have been sentenced to time in prison for their actions.

On Friday, a London court sentenced Anna Holland, 22, and Phoebe Plummer, 23, from the activist group Just Stop Oil, to two years and 20 months in prison for their so-called protest against fossil fuels at a museum in London in 2022, CNN reported.

Both Holland and Plummer were found guilty of criminal damage to the pieces of art’s gold-colored frame.  Judge Christopher Hehir blasted the two for their actions against the “cultural treasure,” which he said could have been “seriously damaged or even destroyed” by them by throwing soup on the paintings and then glueing their hands to the museum wall. The “Sunflowers” painting is valued at nearly $85 million.

“Soup might have seeped through the glass. You couldn’t have cared less if the painting was damaged or not,” Hehir said in court. “You had no right to do what you did to ‘Sunflowers.’”

Plummer was also sentenced to an additional 3 months in prison for her part in a “slow march” in the road in October 2023 in London.

“You clearly think your beliefs give you the right to commit crimes when you feel like it,” Hehir said. “You do not.”

Shortly after the sentences were handed down, more vandals from the same protest group shared a clip of three peeople  throwing cans of soup over the glass on not one but two Vincent Van Gogh paintings “in the ‘Poets and Lovers’ exhibition at the National Gallery,” per the post on X.

The London judge is the same person who handed down sentences in July to five other so-called climate activists in the U.K. from Just Stop Oil or its allied group, Extinction Rebellion.

The court found the vandals guilty of “conspiring intentionally to cause a public nuisance,” after it had recruited people to climb structures along the M25 — a major traffic route around London — in November 2022, the outlet noted.

Hehir sentenced four out of five of the activists to four-year jail terms, while the group’s co-founder, Roger Hallam, was handed a five year sentence.

ICE Data Show Hundreds Of Thousands Of Illegal Aliens In U.S. Are Serious Criminals

Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that was released this week show that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in the U.S. are serious criminals.

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) released the data as Vice President Kamala Harris was set to make her first serious visit to the southern border where she is responsible for the administration’s disastrous policies that have led to more than 10 million illegal aliens pouring into the U.S.

“As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’s non-detained docket,” said Patrick J. Lechleitner, Deputy Director and Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director for ICE, in a letter to Gonzales.

“Of those, 435,719 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges,” he added.

The data included a chart that listed the charge, if the illegal alien was detained, and if they were convicted or had charges pending.

The most disturbing stats were the number of criminals convicted of serious crimes who are not detained because of Democrat sanctuary policies, including:

Arson: 792 Assault: 62,231 Burglary: 14,301 Dangerous Drugs: 56,533 Fraud: 15,979 Homicide: 13,099 Kidnapping: 2,521 Sexual Assault: 15,811 Weapon Offenses: 13,423

Gonzales said that the staggering numbers were a direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies.

“The truth is clear—illegal immigrants with a criminal record are coming into our country,” he said. “The data released by ICE is beyond disturbing, and it should be a wake-up call for the Biden-Harris administration and cities across the country that hide behind sanctuary policies. It’s time for Washington to move past rhetoric and toward results.”

“Americans deserve to feel safe in their communities,” he continued. “As an Appropriator, I will do everything in my power to ensure ICE has the resources necessary to deport noncitizens with a criminal record—this must be a priority. The Biden-Harris administration also plays a part in cleaning up the mess their failed policies have created. They have the ear of sanctuary city mayors—it’s time to encourage them to reverse course and put the safety of American citizens first.”
