Two Just Stop Oil activists have been found guilty of criminal damage after
throwing soup over a Vincent Van Gogh painting.

Anna Holland and Phoebe Plummer, both 22, were found guilty at Southwark
Crown Court of criminal damage after throwing tinned soup over van Gogh’s
Sunflowers in 2022.

The protesters, wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts, threw two tins of Heinz
tomato soup over the 1888 work hanging in the National Gallery in October
2022, before kneeling down in front of the painting and glueing their hands
to the wall beneath it.

While the painting was not harmed in the attack, there was damage to its
17th-century gold-coloured frame, which prosecutors said was “a piece of art
in itself”.

The court had heard that the soup, which the pair bought at a nearby Tesco,
acted like paint stripper on the wood frame.

“Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting, or the
protection of our planet and people? The cost of living crisis is part of
the cost of oil crisis.”

The pair had denied the charge of criminal damage over the action.

The two women were released on bail by Judge Christopher Hehir, who recently
jailed five Just Stop Oil activists for between four and five years for
disruption on the M25.

They are expected to be sentenced on Sept 27.

Their bail conditions stipulate that they must not carry glue, paint or any
adhesive substance in a public place, and must not visit any galleries or
museums.

The painting was the second from the National Gallery targeted by Just Stop
Oil in 2022, with two supporters glueing themselves to John Constable’s The
Hay Wain in July.

For vandalising a Van Gogh, they should get life.

Just what on earth is in Heinz tomato soup to make it act like 'paint
stripper'?!?

Citric acid and sugars.

Ordinary foodstuffs can sometimes have a surprising effect on objects. I
remember a really small spot of Madras sauce (from a tin - I shan't
mention the brand) being missed when clearing up after a meal
preparation. Over the course of just a couple of hours, it ate through
the top layer of the laminated kitchen worktop, creating a small hole. I
filled the pit with a drop of mastic which more or less matched the colour.

God knows what it does to your stomach.

"I didn't know that the damage I sought to inflict on that painting
would damage it" doesn't sound like the best defence line I ever heard.

Heinz ketchup and associated products are some of the worst things you can eat.

All rightists are slaves to big oil. Imagine, pissant losers in life
defending big corporations for no compensation.

At least Trump said he would accept bribes from them instead of being a slave
working for free.

Rightists are the unpaid field niggers of the 21st century.

SWAT snipers at the July 13 attack against Trump say they didn't have
contact with the Secret Service.

They told ABC that the first time they communicated with agents on the
ground was after the shooting.

Meanwhile, NYT published texts that show the snipers spotted the gunman
hours before the shooting.

The local SWAT team assigned to guard former President Donald Trump's rally
on July 13 said it had "no communication" with the Secret Service before a
gunman tried to assassinate him.

"We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service
members whenever they arrived, and that never happened," Jason Woods, a lead
sharpshooter on the Beaver County, Pennsylvania SWAT team, told ABC News.

"So I think that was probably a pivotal point, where I started thinking
things were wrong because it never happened," he said. "We had no
communication."

In an interview published by ABC on Sunday, Woods and his team members said
the first time they communicated with Secret Service agents on the ground
was only after the shooting.

"It was too late," Woods said.

Their comments add to a growing chorus of questions about the communication
among national and local agencies that allowed such a serious security lapse
to transpire.

The Secret Service's press team did not immediately respond to a request for
comment sent outside regular business hours by Business Insider.

In a statement to ABC, a spokesperson declined to respond to Woods'
allegations and said that the agency "is committed to better understanding
what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt of former
President Trump to ensure that never happens again."

Woods' team included countersnipers stationed at the American Glass Research
building, which was used as a staging area for local law enforcement
supporting the Secret Service's security.

The New York Times on Sunday published several text messages among
countersnipers there, which showed that they identified the gunman, Thomas
Crooks, at least two hours before the shooting.

"Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars, just so you
know," the message said. The countersniper then reported that Crooks had
moved to a picnic table "about 50 yards from the exit."

An hour later, a countersniper took photos of Crooks and said they believed
the gunman brought a rangefinder. Those photos later went viral on social
media.

"If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out," countersniper wrote in a
message, calling in the potential threat to the command center.

They added that they had lost sight of Crooks, per the texts published by
The Times.

But The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Secret Service members on
Trump's detail complained they never received the warning from the
countersnipers in the AGR building.

It cited three unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

Crooks would later climb onto the roof of the AGR building and open fire on
Trump. The FBI confirmed on Friday that the former president's ear was
struck by a bullet, "whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces."

The aftermath of the assassination attempt, which put Trump within inches of
losing his life, has been a reckoning for the Secret Service. The agency has
been slammed for what former agents and advisers say was a complete security
failure.

"The assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13th is the
most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades,"
Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle said on July 22.

Cheatle resigned the next day, after days of criticism leveled at her and
her organization.

That's good isn't it? I watched it on TV and it looks like Trump should
have stepped a little to the right. A direct hit would have been far more
convincing than that stupid razor scratch on his ear lobe.

An 18-year-old man was wounded in a shooting during a home invasion
involving two men wearing hoods and ski masks at a West Side apartment
earlier this month.

El Paso police detectives are asking for the public's help in solving the
violent residential robbery, which occurred at 9:37 p.m. on Sunday, July 14,
at the Tuscany at Mesa Hills apartments at at 415 S. Mesa Hills Drive.

The case is Crime Stoppers of El Paso's Crime of the Week.

The masked men walked up a flight of stairs, forced their way into an
apartment and used a gun to threaten a young man residing in the apartment,
Crime Stoppers said.

The home invaders beat the young man, shot him and fled after stealing
several undisclosed items from the apartment, police said. A detailed
description of the robbers wasn't released, except that the one who had the
gun was about 5 feet 7 inches tall.

Anyone with information regarding the home invasion may anonymously call
Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 915-566-8477 (TIPS) or leave a tip online at
cselpaso.org. Tipsters could be eligible for a cash reward if a tip leads to
an arrest.

More childish bullshit from the left.
