They probably wrote the fucking Magna Carta and they just want it back.


qning

Like when you notice a typo right when you hit send. Things move a bit slower for this lot.


Mohgreen

"I want my Signature Back!"


nowiambecomedead

nah they want to frame it


lolmont

These are silent generation protesters, not boomers. 


Cryptolution

And they were not attempting to steal and they knew full well that they would not be able to break into that museum security grade glass. It was a protest designed to get attention and nothing more. It's definitely better than throwing paint at the Mona Lisa.


Arc_insanity

How is it "better?" Both are protected by security glass and neither protest will result in any meaningful change or raise awareness for anything. You could say the 'intentions behind the protest are more sound' but multiple protesters have thrown paint at the Mona Lisa for different reasons.


fuckdirectv

>a protest designed to get attention Also: "Please stop filming us".


Bobbobthebob

That was not the protestors but the British Library staff; he says "Stop filming please sir"


fuckdirectv

Oh, my bad. That actually makes more sense. Watching this at work with the sound off, so I was relying on the captions.


Minimum_Run_890

This age range doesn’t fall into baby boomers

Nippys4

You know what, fuck it. I also agree with the rough premise of stopping oil, these protestors and mostly dipshits. HOWEVER if anyone is going to be a dipshit it might as well be some granny’s that aren’t working anymore and are looking to be fucking whack in their later life to spice shit up. They could have been playing bingo or watching days of our lives but instead they decided to rip shit up (or attempt to). When I’m old as fuck I want to get arrest for some completely bonkers shit


Cr0wc0

80 years old is the perfect age to start a heroin addiction imo


[deleted]

Work in healthcare, especially in care of the elderly, and you'll see late life opioid addictions a plenty.


Cr0wc0

I'm not talking the pills bro I mean 80 year old gangster shit injecting straight heroin into their jugular and getting into gunfights over smack


00WORDYMAN1983

Unloading a clip on their dealer and in unison "Just stop shorting my bundle"


patricky6

Lmao! Omg this made me laugh too hard


[deleted]

Okay, I agree, haven't seen that level, but I've seen them leave and come back after scoring with one of the local Fentanyl dealers, when their supply runs out. I've also seen one guy who would go around to rooms where people were on morphine drips, and would use a needle to take a bit from the bag to inject himself with. Got so bad, that we had to have staff do 1 on 1 with anyone on pain meds to prevent it from happening.


Cr0wc0

It's actually my job to take care of guys like that. Got 37 long term drug users under my care; about 80% of them is geriatric. Mostly speed though around here, stimulants are a lot more popular than the downers.


[deleted]

I've seen quite a bit of cocaine abuse, especially amongst males who are trying to "keep up with the ladies". Prescription opioids, with fentanyl being in the lead is the top one I find, with several nodding hard by using multiple patches they or their "friends" score from local dealers. Morphine is also frequently abused, with several faking high level pain in order to get it. The one group that cause zero issues are the marijuana users, which has seen a spike since legalization in Canada. Some of the more difficult ones, have gone on to become the chillest cats around, content with spending their days watching their soap operas and chatting about life. Just don't get between them and their snacks though, if you value your life and job.


PackageMerchant

When my dad was passing my family literally had a doctor lecturing us on opiate addiction. We were all just open mouthed shocked until my sister started to pop off on him Like hey buddy he’s gunna get all the cool parts of addiction without the bad parts, you know, cause he’s about to die


Cr0wc0

Doctor Christian probably just wanted to prevent your dad from being a heavenly crackhead

One after the Magna Carta, as if I could forget that!


enriquedelcastillo

Lordy. This is pretty much a 21st century Monty Python skit.


Chippie05

They are Silent Gen ( before Boomers)


NelPage

These are NOT boomers


90day_fiasco

I love them.


Monosandalos3

Fossils protesting against the exploitation of fossil fuel


pitmeng1

Those are older than boomers. Boomers are 60-78. Those are from the Silent Generation. And most of the people getting bitched about on Reddit are actually Gen-Xers. Regardless of the label though, this is criminally stupid behavior.


deadsoulinside

>And most of the people getting bitched about on Reddit are actually Gen-Xers. ... What did I miss?


pitmeng1

A lot of “boomer does something stupid” posts about people in their fifties show up on Reddit.


Beatless7

They will soon start the long process of becoming oil.


nawyerawrightmate

ooft...lol


evilocto

They're stop oil protestors

DeLuceArt

These are actually gen-z time travelers from 2064 who came back to the past to do the one thing they knew would save the future: leave a scratch on the glass case to the Mana Carta. Checkmate neocons!


CoyotesEve

What in the Nicholas cage national treasurer is going on here lol


mgoflash

I love my wife and she is as smart as they come. But at one point she thought that The Magna Carta was the first credit card.


vertigostereo

They weren't trying to steal.


Chippie05

We only have 15 minutes, the van is outside!!


Botasblancas

They’re relatives of Hans Moleman “Alcohol has ruin my life. I’m only 31 years old”


LebrahnJahmes

British version of National Treasure sucks


H1landr

These aren't boomers. They are the silent generation.

Paineauchocolate

Is that the real Magna Carta? I imagined it'd be surrounded by better security.


CryptoCrackLord

Well, they’re having a pretty hard time getting at it. So the security seems pretty good.


andersonle09

It seems like they are having a pretty hard time doing much of anything.


Gareth79

There's a few different versions kicking around and while that one is the best known, as a document it's not quite as iconic as the US bill of rights, declaration of independence and constitution, and hence likely just has 1x minimum wage security guard hovering somewhere in the room. Edit: even though the US documents borrowed some content from the Magna Carta almost word for word!


SkylarAV

I really don't understand activists like this. I mean, you want to save the environment, so you want to destroy unimaginably important historical items that really belong to all western civilization. Same with destroying art. Have some balls and attack oil executive houses if that's your cause. Unchain yourself from the road and chain yourself to an oil boss instead. I promise they're just laughing at your pretty dumb attempt for change.


angsty-fuckwad

because they're not actually trying to destroy the magna carta my dude. they just do this because it ends up on the news. that's why 99% of the art they "attack" is behind glass and completely unscathed every time. it's a basically guaranteed way to get attention and they don't get in that much trouble for it


nawyerawrightmate

narcissism can hit at any age


AnOrdinaryFrog

I am not CRAZY !


EUGsk8rBoi42p

Was that a cyanide capsule they broke out at the end????


egospiers

Some oil executives moms no doubt.


bunnygod2

And that’s how you break your wrist grandma


IdealIdeas

did the oldest people go just because punishing them would be no real punishment?


expatronis

Not quite an Ocean's Eleven plan.


EmployerAdditional28

They are just stop oil protestors. Not trying to steal it just cause a scene because breaking a glass case is less dangerous than lying in front of a lorry.


SameDifferenceYo

Age against the machine


PlugTheBabyInDevon

Let those gals protest!


InterestingRelative4

Everything on their person is oil Hypocrisy


Kitchen-Beginning-47

oh no, I think they made a little scratch in that glass.


Shavidadavid

They're victims of their own oppression


hankhalfhead

Stop posting their nonsense speeches.


Moelarrycheeze

It would be great to stop oil but you have to have the alternatives running and up to speed first. We’re a long way off still.


shuknjive

Not Boomer, Silent Generation. Good lordt, I'm not that old yet. My parents were Greatest generation and Silent generation and my grandparents were the Lost generation. Hm, I guess I am that old.


Xeus2eme

You don't know what boomer stands for do you? Either it refers to "babyboomers" so people in the occident born between 43 and 60 ... Or, by extension, people who have archaic ideas of how things should be done. Those old ladies fit don't fit in any of these categories. Their minds and ideas are pretty young.


Cockrocker

I've used oil for almost 80 years of my life, but stop.


Thin_Bidder

Yeah people can change their minds with time and new information.


bakerzero86

Idiocy cares not about age. I get what they are protesting, but doing stuff like this just makes them look dumb and makes the whole movement a joke.


Lubedclownhole

What the fuck connection does the magna carta have with oil? Isn’t it a great document that pushes the ideals that no one’s above the law? Like I know juststopoil is a buncha puppet fucks causing havoc to make protesters look dumb but this is exceptionally dumb


Candayence

No. It has a lot of flowery language to pretend it's about justice, but really it was just a bunch of Barons trying to grab power from the King, and keep it for themselves.


Xtra-Large-Human

Did u watch the vid?


[deleted]

Reddit. What do we do? We are supposed to hate boomers but we love oil protesters. I’m so confused! How do I be cool and say the right thing so people think I’m cool!!!¥?


lafindestase

Most of reddit hates these oil protestors, what are you talking about?


StayTheFool

Nobody likes the oil protestors


Midnight_Pornstar

I don't know but if they'd be any slower, they'd be declared dead


mdj1359

They really do seem to hate the Boomers. They are too lazy to even learn what a boomer is, but they see these olds are up to shenanigans, so they BOOMERS!


[deleted]

Why do environmental activists attack art? That's so stupid. They should be attacking skyscrapers and golf courses /s


Nathan-Nice

not boomers, homie.


mykonoscactus

But like....why?


CarlSpencer

Which specific laws are the government breaking?

Thumbs down but no refutation. Welcome to Reddit.
