No one is protesting for free anymore.
The question should be asked who funded/paid those protestors to do this?

This is hilarious if true... these are scientists supposedly intelligent human beings but they sound quite daft and their plan wasn't exactly thought out well.

No this is not a satirical news piece, nor is it the tale of a kindergarten teacher and their class of spoilt children. This is the story of a group of nine mature-age “scientists” and their not-so-well thought out plan.
Members of “Scientist Rebellion”, a collection of so-called academics dressed in white lab coats, super-glued themselves to the concrete floor of the Porsche pavilion in Autostadt and the Volkswagen luxury cars exhibit in Wolfsburg as a protest against carbon emissions.
“Nine of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike until our demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met.”
Genius activists glue themselves to Porsche museum floor, then complain they're hungry
Arguably a noble cause, but its execution seemed more like a poorly thought out third grader’s tantrum.
After just a few short hours, the eco-demonstrators took to Twitter to complain that the glue was irritating their hands, that they were hungry, and desperately needed the bathroom.
“Staff refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have now turned off the heating”
After a night sleeping on the floor, one of the demonstrators, Gianluca Grimalda, who had vowed to remain until Volkswagen agreed to lobby for low-carbon transport, voluntarily left after 24 hours when his hand swelled up from an adverse reaction to the glue. He tweeted an image of his swollen hand saying that a doctor had been brought in to examine him.
He said: “Doctors ascertained the possibility of life-threatening blood clots in my hand and recommended an immediate transfer to a hospital. My health is of course paramount. I accepted to leave this wonderful group and was taken to hospital.”
TextI swear, if I am ever walking through the woods and find the remains of some idiot... oops, protestor... hanging from the side of a tree by the chains they placed there, after obviously being eaten by a bear, I am going to stop and bury the remains so deep they will never be found. The bear didn't do anything wrong, but if the authorities find out all the bears in the area will be killed. Poor bear deserves a lot more respect than these idiots; he at least helped improve our species.
