Two climate ‘activists’ have been sentenced to prison time for carrying out a stunt back in February when they threw red paint on the display case of the US Constitution.
The pair caused $50,000 in damage when they entered the Capitol Rotunda and carried out the publicity seeking action.
BREAKING: Climate activists just ruined the display of the Constitution in the Rotunda of the National Archives in DC. They poured red powder on themselves and the display.

They were originally arrested and charged with a felony, but have now been sentenced to do hard time.
The AP notes “U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson told Donald Zepeda that his attack on the display of the priceless document did nothing to advance his cause.”
“You still think that was connected to the climate change problem, and I can’t agree with that,” the judge added, handing down a two year prison term.
The other individual involved was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
As we highlighted in September, two attention seeking Just Stop Oil loons in the UK were sentenced to two years and twenty months in prison respectively after they threw soup at the priceless Sunflowers painting by Van Gough.
These people are finally starting to receive punishments appropriate for their actions.
Perhaps other rabid leftists will think twice about vandalising artworks and historical artefacts just to get attention.

They’ll both come out with arseholes like a hippo’s yawn…?
Ironically the 5th Amendment kept them from being sentenced to far more deserved time than they got.
Good. I hope they grow brains in there, or at least a fear of ever breaking the law again. I’ve never even had the privilege of seeing those beautiful documents, much less would I ever even think of vandalizing them.
Creeps.
