    Climate protesters who glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen showroom in Germany need to use the toilet – but now complain the company has refused to provide the group with “a bowl to urinate and defecate” in.

    Gianluca Grimalda, a researcher with the Kiel Institute think tank and member of climate protest group Scientist Rebellion, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that 15 people had “occupied the Porsche pavilion” at the Autostadt museum adjoining the carmaker’s factory in Wolfsburg.

    “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,” he wrote.

    “[Volkswagen] told us that they supported our right to protest, but they refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating.”

    Why do these types of protesters think doing this crap accomplishes anything? They look like jackasses and generally hurt their cause.

    yeah, VW has their number. Only gave them a limited menu of food they would provide and would not allow outside food deliveries. Then they turn off the lights and turn the heat down at night and weekends, and the security guards making their rounds every hour make sure to check their safety with bright flashlights to verify they are just sleeping and haven't slipped into a coma.

    The best were the protestors that ran onto the track during an F1 race this season. They decided they should sitdown on the straightaway, the fastest part of the track where the cars are going 200 mph. They got lucky, but talk about stupid...

    They're lucky security was even that accommodating to them staying after hours. When the place closes, if you don't leave you are either a trespasser or an intruder. Imagine what would happen if I glued myself to the floor in a bank vault and tried to stay after hours...

    Inhumane. Even the Seminoles provide bathroom facilities for visiting teams.

    We rent one every year for UF UGA. The women claim it’s money well spent. I disagree.

    These protesters should poop on the floor and pee on the walls like the January 6th patriots did in the Capitol. Problem solved!
