Climate protesters tried to slow down commuters in London by climbing on top of commuter trains.
The commuters did not take kindly to this and promptly ripped the protesters from the train.
According to The Daily Wire:
BBC reports that protesters from the group climbed on trains at Stratford, Canning Town, and Shadwell during rush hour Thursday. As a result of their actions, service on the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway was temporarily suspended, BBC reports, an extreme “disruption” that the radical group said was “necessary to highlight the emergency” of climate change.
At least eight of the activists have been arrested, according to British Transport Police.
…
As a growing number of commuters became increasingly furious over the activists’ antics, a few of them took action, yanking protesters off train cars. When the protesters were forced into the middle of the livid commuters, things got even more tense: videos show pushing, shoving, and shouting erupting, with officials reportedly being forced to intervene at some points to avoid an escalation of violence.
…
The activist is eventually grabbed by the legs and yanked down into the angry crowd, where he appears to be pushed, punched, and kicked.

This is epic justice and shows that not everyone is on the climate change train. Pun intended.
