Extinction Rebellion capped off a rough week in the United Kingdom with a tough weekend on the West Coast, as people, inconvenienced by the group’s ongoing, intentionally disruptive climate protests, fought back.
Last week, the group failed in its attempt to shut down the state opening of Parliament in London. Its protests in downtown London passed without much notice and its final attempt to draw Londoners’ attention to climate change ended in disaster after working class commuters confronted protesters chained to subway trains and, in one case, actively pulled protesters down off the tops of subway cars.
