Climate Activists Who Vandalized Stonehenge Acquitted And Set Free

Within a progressive controlled nation, who gets punished by the law is greatly dependent on their political and ethnic affiliations.  Left leaning groups (and people like migrants who are useful to left leaning groups) enjoy a separate set of legal standards compared to people who oppose leftist ideology.  This has become a clear trend within the UK in recent years.

This two tier legal system helps the encourage future crimes by leftists and their allies while the hammer is brought down on conservatives and patriots to ensure they are fearful of stepping out of line in the slightest.  

This double standard is obvious once again in the recent acquittal of three Just Stop Oil activists who made headlines after they spraying down the historic site of Stonehenge with a mixture of powder and orange dye.  The dye cost around $1000 to clean but luckily did not leave lasting damage.  The stunt was allegedly designed to draw attention to JSO’s climate change agenda.

The activists, Rajan Naidu, Niamh Lynch and Luke Watson have been found not guilty this week of criminal damage and causing a public nuisance.  The suspects cited human rights law in their defense, arguing that they had a “reasonable excuse”, and they they are protected under Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights to freedom of speech and freedom to protest.

The judge emphasized that democratic protest rights can sometimes render otherwise unlawful actions lawful, even if disruptive.  In other words, suspects who commit a clear crime (such as vandalizing an ancient heritage site) will not be punished as long as they support causes that the current government agrees with.  UK patriots, on the other hand, will still get years in prison for posting memes on social media that are critical of mass immigration.

Just Stop Oil’s insanity was rampant across Europe over the course of the last few year until the group disbanded on the grounds that they had been “victorious” in achieving their primary goal (did they beat climate change?).  However, it is more likely they disbanded because of rising public anger over their disruptive tactics.

PROTECT WOMEN: Out-of-Control Trans Activists Vandalize Europe’s Largest Feminist Conference Happening in the UK

Trans individuals want to ‘teach’ women what they are.

In following a new trend, Trans activists vandalized the venue of Europe’s largest feminist conference, taking place in Brighton, in the UK.

Purple paint was sprayed on the façade and windows were smashed in the runup to this weekend’s FiLiA conference.

There’s no need for us to wonder who did this, since Bash Back, a trans activist group, has proudly claimed credit for the vandalism and even posted a video showing masked figures vandalizing the venue.

Around 2,400 people will participate in the gender-critical charity’s conference.

Author JK Rowling, a champion for women’s rights against trans activism, retweeted a post by journalist Julie Bindel.

The Telegraph reported:

“Ms. Bindel, who is speaking at this year’s event, wrote on X: ‘Trans activists have smashed one of the large front windows of the Brighton Centre – the venue where 2500 feminists are meeting this weekend to talk about male violence, misogyny and the like. Why can’t EVERYONE see this movement for what it is?’”

Liberal MP calls church burnings ‘conspiracy theories’ despite local arsons

A Liberal MP is facing criticism after dismissing a wave of church burnings and acts of vandalism as “conspiracy theories,” despite numerous church arsons, including some near his local riding in Hamilton.

During debate in the House of Commons on proposed hate-crime legislation, Liberal MP John-Paul Danko (Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas) accused Conservatives of “repeating conspiracy theories” rather than addressing “real hate crimes.”

“If we want to talk about real hate crimes, and I’m not quoting, you know, alt-right, so-called alternative news, I’m talking about Jewish members in my community who are covering their Jewish identity in public, that is the hate that we’re talking about, that this bill seeks to address.”

Danko’s response was in relation to True North’s church arson incident map hosted on Juno News which has catalogued 123 instances of arson or vandalism since 2021.

Conservative MP Andrew Lawton responded on X, calling the attacks “real hate,” and highlighted dozens of firebombings and acts of vandalism against churches and synagogues since 2021.

Muslims accused of vandalizing church in Texas argue First Amendment right, so far jurors disagree

Three Muslims charged in connection with vandalizing a church in Euless, Texas, last year argue doing so was their First Amendment right.

So far, jurors have disagreed, convicting one man, Raunaq Alam, of vandalism but not of a hate crime.

Alam was one of three charged in connection to the vandalization of a nondenominational church, Uncommon Church in Euless, in Tarrant County in March 2024. They are accused of spray-painting “expletive Israel” and affixing pro-Palestinian/Hamas stickers on the exterior of the church building, among other actions recorded on a church security camera.

District Attorney Phil Sorrells initially charged them with felony criminal mischief. The charges were later increased to a third-degree felony hate crime, which carries a sentence of two to 10 years in prison. It was increased to a hate crime because the perpetrators targeted a church because of religion, the prosecution argued. 

Judge Brian Bolton issued a sentence of five years probation. Alam was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and $1,700 in restitution to the church. His probation terms include serving 180 days in jail, conducting 180 hours of community service, undergoing regular drug and alcohol testing, wearing a GPS monitor and issuing an apology to the church.

Alam was next indicted on a charge of committing perjury, and he faces a drug possession charge. His attorney argues her client is being targeted.

Co-defendant Afsheen Khan was also charged with felony criminal mischief, and her trial is set to start soon. A third defendant, Julia Venzor, agreed to testify against Alam and Khan as part of a plea deal. She pleaded guilty in exchange for the deal and also received five years of probation, WFAA News reported.

The vandalism occurred after the church put up an Israeli flag to express solidarity with Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack, Uncommon Church’s pastor, Brad Carignan, testified in court.

The case has been considered part of a pattern in Texas in which Christians, churches, Jews, synagogues and pro-Israel Americans have been targeted with unprovoked violence by Muslims.

In January 2022, a Pakistani Islamist held hostage Jewish parishioners at a Colleyville synagogue.

Minnesota DHS employee who went on Tesla vandalism spree still on state payroll

The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary.

In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: “Dylan Adams is a current employee.”

As for whether Adams has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours, the agency offered little transparency. “No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,” the spokesperson said.

Caught on tape

In April, the Minneapolis Police Department held a press conference and shared four video clips that had been obtained from the victims’ onboard surveillance cameras.

The videos showed a white male who in most of the cases had a dog with him while appearing to key or vandalize Teslas in downtown Minneapolis, and one at Target in Northeast Minneapolis. Chief Brian O’Hara said all the videos shown were believed to be the same suspect — Adams.

O’Hara said the incidents began on March 18 — the same day Gov. Tim Walz made headlines for quipping that watching Tesla stock drop gave him “a little boost during the day,” despite the state holding investments in the company. Walz even posted the clip to his personal X account, where it remains today.

Moriarty’s free pass

As Alpha News previously reported, Adams became the focus of public outrage in April when Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty placed him in a diversion program instead of filing charges.

Moriarty defended her decision, saying it would allow Adams to keep his job and pay restitution.

Chief O’Hara vented frustration over Moriarty’s decision. “Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined,” he said at the time, adding that victims often feel the same way.

Teens face hate crime charges for cutting up LGBTQ Pride flags on Pride crosswalk in Atlanta

Atlanta police arrested four teens early Tuesday morning who have been accused of defacing Pride flags outside of a popular LGBTQ bar in midtown. Authorities said the defendants may face hate crime charges, which could result in penalties including jail time. Two suspects remain at large, police said.

According to the Atlanta Police Department (APD), officers responded to reports of vandalism at 1:40 am after witnesses claimed to have observed six men stealing Pride flags hanging in front of the bar and using knives to cut into them. The teens were also seen performing motorized scooter stunts on the notable rainbow-colored crosswalks at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street.

While contacting authorities, a 911 caller stated, “They’re in the middle of the street popping wheelies, tearing up flags.” The six teens fled on scooters when officers arrived on the scene. Shortly after, four of them were apprehended, while two teens remain at large.

Surveillance video released by APD shows the group on scooters at the rainbow-colored crosswalk with Pride flags in hand. The crosswalk was installed in 2017 to honor the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, the New York Times reported.

During a press conference, APD Sgt. Brandon Hayes stated that the department takes “this community very seriously, and we want to make sure residents feel safe.”

Virginia Man Faces 12 Months in Jail, $2,500 Fine for Drawing a Crosswalk With Chalk

After the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, denied requests to paint crosswalk lines at an intersection popular among pedestrians, Kevin Cox, a retired crossing guard, decided to take matters into his own hands by placing spray chalk lines in the shape of a crosswalk. He’s since been charged with intentional destruction of property, a Class I misdemeanor, and faces a sentence of up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.

Cox’s temporary crosswalk was placed at the intersection of Elliott Avenue and Second Street, which is often used by pedestrians visiting the Ix Art Park but does not have any painted crosswalk lines. Although 900 residents petitioned in October 2024 for a crosswalk to enhance safety following a fatal pedestrian-car crash at a nearby intersection, city officials responded by saying that pedestrians should cross at either First Street or Sixth Street, roughly 400 or 500 feet away, respectively, where painted crosswalks already exist. 

Irritated by the city’s inaction, Cox, an outspoken pedestrian advocate, placed his chalk lines in May 2025. “There is a marked crosswalk now at Second Street and Elliot Avenue in spite of you,” he told the city manager, Sam Sanders, in an email sent that same day. “It’s chalk, not paint. Please replace it with a real one,” reported 29News, a local NBC affiliate.  

Police said they couldn’t determine if the lines were permanent paint, according to the police report Cox shared with 29News, leading the city to cover them with black paint. Cox later turned himself in to the Charlottesville Police Department. “They have provoked me,” Cox told 29News, “it’s not going to stop me.” 

Pedestrian fatalities hit a 40-year high in 2022, increasing by 50 percent from 1.55 to 2.33 per 100,000 population since 2013. While there are several contributing factors, including larger vehicles with impaired visibility and high-speed roadways, some blame distracted driving. This has led 31 states to pass laws prohibiting device usage while driving since 2010.

Other government solutions range from the innocuous, like increased lighting at intersections, to the more controversial, like California’s vetoed car speed alarm bill or a $48 million proposal for new federal regulations. Placing one’s preferred road markings is a risky choice given the potential for increasing, rather than decreasing, overall safety.

Former CNN Reporter Shocked as Tesla Vandalized—But Not by MAGA Supporters

Former CNN reporter Chris Cillizza revealed that his Tesla was vandalized during a weekend soccer tournament, which included a handwritten sign accusing Elon Musk of being a Nazi.

Cillizza’s vehicle was vandalized while he was attending his son’s game.

“So this is the first time I’ve experienced the sort of politics of Elon Musk and Tesla,” Cillizza wrote on his Substack newsletter.

Cillizza explained that when he initially bought the car, he was more concerned that MAGA supporters might vandalize it due to its strong association with progressive values.

“The big concern I had—because this was the big thing that was happening—was sort of pro-MAGA people keying the car or smashing it…because America is about, like, real engines, not electric cars,” he said.

“That was the perception back then, right? It was like you’re coding yourself as, like, an enviro-liberal-wacko-communist if you bought a Tesla.”

However, Cillizza was forced to admit it was not conservatives who ultimately targeted his vehicle.

“It is amazing to me that five-ish years on, I am getting this on my car because Elon Musk has now become sort of persona non grata for the non-MAGA crowd,” he said.

Musk’s endorsement of President Donald Trump has made him a target in progressive circles that once championed Tesla as a symbol of green innovation.

Cillizza acknowledged the brand’s shift in public perception, recalling a similar cultural backlash he received after tweeting about eating at Chick-fil-A.

“I hope the hate tastes good,” was one of the responses he said he received at the time.

Despite progressive criticism, Chick-fil-A ranked 26th in this year’s Axios/Harris poll, well ahead of Tesla.

Crooked County Attorney in Minnesota Who Let Democrat State Worker Walk After Keying Teslas Now Charges a Young Woman for Similar Crime

A member of the Tim Walz administration keyed several Tesla vehicles and caused upwards of $20,000 in damages. The Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty let him walk.

Now a young woman with no criminal record has been accused of keying her co-worker’s car and she apparently will be charged.

Is there a better example of selective justice? Why does the Tim Walz associate get a free pass, but the young woman with no political connections gets charged?

The Mankato Free Press reported:

But one case is striking for the argument Moriarty has made around Adams being a first-time offender.

A 19-year-old Robbinsdale woman with no criminal record was charged with first-degree felony property damage on Monday after she allegedly keyed her coworker’s car at the White Castle in Brooklyn Park. The damage to the car was estimated at $7,000. She is due to make her first court appearance in two weeks.

When asked how she could balance that charging decision with the decision to not charge Adams, Moriarty didn’t directly respond. She said her office’s main goal is to hold the person accountable for keying the car, get restitution to the people affected, and avoid felony convictions when possible, because it can waylay someone’s life. She said all of that will happen in Adams’ case, and if he fails to complete the diversion program criminal charges will be filed.

‘Should we have treated this gentleman differently because it’s a political issue?’ Moriarty asked. ‘We made this decision because it is in the best interest of public safety.’

The message being sent here is loud and clear.

OUTRAGEOUS: Soros-Backed County Attorney Says Member of Tim Walz Administration Won’t Face Criminal Charges For Vandalizing at Least 6 Teslas – Police Blast Decision!

Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.

Last week, TGP reported that a fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Governor (and failed VP candidate) Tim Walz’s administration was caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, was caught on camera keying a Tesla while walking his dog.

Adams was arrested last week but he likely won’t face any real consequences because the corrupt Hennepin County attorney won’t seek criminal charges.

“Our main priorities are to secure restitution for the victims and hold Mr. Adams accountable. As a result, we will file for pre-charge diversion to best facilitate both of those goals,” Hennepin County Attorney’s Office spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping told Fox 9. “This is an approach taken in many property crime cases and helps to ensure the individual keeps their job and can pay restitution, as well as reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Criminal prosecution remains a possibility should unlawful behavior continue.”

The Minneapolis Police Department blasted the HCAO in a statement to Fox 9:

“The Minneapolis Police Department did its job. It identified and investigated a crime trend, identified, and arrested a suspect, and presented a case file to the Hennepin County Attorney Office for consideration of charges. This case impacted at least six different victims and totaled over $20,000 in damages. Any frustration related to the charging decision of the Hennepin County Attorney should be directed solely at her office. Our investigators are always frustrated when the cases they poured their hearts into are declined. In my experience, the victims in these cases often feel the same.”
