    I really appreciate the second activist’s attention to PPE. Sabotaging a military industrial site is dangerous work, no need to make it more so.

    Kinda weird that the “clean room” seems to have a zinc-sheet roof? Shouldn’t it be a bit better hardened?

    The first time that throwing paint on something really did something about the situation.

    What did they actually do? I see they threw paint, but was it in the can and then it collapsed the roof? Did they cut the roof away? I’m not sure of the logistics here.

      They sprayed paint into the clean room, contaminating tools and equipment that are required to make materials and components that require zero contamination. They will likely have to replace alot of specialized equipment, and that can take a ridiculous amount of time.

        They might have thought they contaminated a clean room, but that certainly did not seem to be constructed like one. Teledyne makes a lot of electronic parts for a lot of different airframes in a lot of locations… It’s unlikely this vandalism did anything substantial.

    Man the difference in perception between stunts done by virtue activists, and actual actionable activism is wild.

    Throwing paint on historical artifacts to make a point ☹️. Throwing paint in clean rooms to change the situation 😄.

      I still don’t really get people who defend defacing artifacts as it doesn’t really prove a point or make anyone join their side. But on the other hand throwing paint in clean rooms is golden as it actually does something 😁

        I don’t understand how you can value art more than life. Those are just things and usually they aren’t harmed because they’re behind glass as intended. How any multi million dollar art piece isn’t behind glass is beyond me.
