It’s an open demonstration, anyone can join in, so I expect they’ve got a bunch of weirdos by now who have come just for the purposes of smashing stuff up/making trouble/generally being a cunt
Friend of mine was involved in an art piece that destroyed a cctv camera, and ended up in court over it. He was most surprised, but even more surprised at what happened next: people started getting in touch with him (he’d been in the paper and had a regional artist profile) about meeting up to smash other cameras… and stuff. These were men who just liked getting organised and vandalising stuff. Suspect they would have loved the opportunity to ‘support’ extinction rebellion

i`m a big fan of the action they are taking and i work just off parliment square so have gone down a few times to support etc. I was quite upset to find out my colleague who is disabled and walks with a limp had someone call out and take the piss out of his walk. Police stepped in to stop them shouting at him. Obviously not tarring everyone with the same brush but wtf. Just goes to show there are arseholes in all sections of society, even ones who are concerned with doing good!
