Not sure I remember seeing these three in the news at the time.

Now jury unanimously CLEARS three Extinction Rebellion activists of obstructing railway in rush hour stunt after claiming their 'Christian faith and fears for their grandchildren' justified their actions

In light of this the next kicking they receive might be more severe.

I wonder if I could use that justification to rob a bank.

Mind you hopefully no-one is going to be kicking OAPs.

Unless they fully deserve it.

God doesn't exist, so conceivably anyone can take any action if they state they are doing it in the belief of whatever they want.

We are screwed if the rule of law is superceded by sky fairies.

Normally by ensuring that the trial is in an affluent London suburb or at least near one. Where there is a high number of Earnest Handwringers, to call up, and this outweigh the working man.

Again it’s the elderly who have no doubt enjoyed 30+ years of budget airlines to travel far and wide who are saying prayers for the planet and causing chaos…. How these hypocritical mugs get played by XR is comical.

My thought too. Does this now legitimise the actions of those freedom of the land types??
