Eco-Activist Jailed After Heathrow Paint Protest: Public Divided on Punishment

A recent post went viral in which an infamous eco-activist who first threw soup on of the famous painting Van Gough worth rs 88 Million Dollars, now she covered Heathrow Airport with orange coloured paint and also jammed the traffic, later got imprisoned for the bad action she performed.

Pink-haired Just Stop Oil activist Phoebe Plummer has been remanded in jail until August 28th after her latest protest, which saw her spray orange paint over Heathrow Airport. Plummer will appear before a judge on August 28th for a case management hearing. 

The activist has been arrested multiple times for her public protest stunts. The lady with the Pink haired has been under the bars and even remanded in Jail, she was there since 28th August after the latest protest done by her, covering the Heathrow Airport. 

This is not the first time that she was arrested for the same thing, multiple times before the latest one, Pink haired was arrested for doing such protest stunts in the name of eco activists.

Why She Painted The Heathrow Airport Orange?

The action performed by the activist is a part of the objection against fossil fuel extraction whose basic aim was to raise awareness about the climatic crisis. The result occurred wasn’t good in terms of the property as it damages the Heathrow, this outcome is in front of ourself, the Pink hair is in prison.

The latest tweet is mentioned here which is posted by Oli London, one of the latest breaking news media.

People Reaction To This Act?

One verified user of X, namedDonald Gautreau wrote “was the painting damaged ? I’ve seen it in ‘real’ life, and it was a profound experience. The tortured individual who made it had something important to say, and the only way he could say it was with paint…” 

“This Plummer character, however, is another matter entirely. This twisted little twirp is in need of the kind of re-education you can only get in prison. And I mean a REAL prison.”

Terry Gribs added, “they should strip her of everything made from or with oil and make her do without. Anytime she uses oil or oil derived products she gets another 10 days detainment.”

One added, “Good, that is the way now the judicial system and the police should be this effective when it comes to child attackers and r*apers…”

Another verified user, Brett Richards said “just keep her in prison until Van Gough can paint another one. Seems more than fair.”

The views of the people vary because of different perspectives, some are concerned about the activist whereas many said that she should be given higher punishment and shouldn’t be given any bail after 10 days. 

The main reason behind the debates is the complex interplay of factors along with the moral judgements, political beliefs,media influence, cultural values and personal experience.
