Spanish climate activists sprayed red paint across a superyacht owned by billionaire Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie in Barcelona on Friday, the second time the yacht has been the target of protests in the past two months.

        They should put the billionaire on the bottom of the ocean, not the boat. The boat might be useful for something.

          Billionaire’s yacht? Hardly. But it may be scrapped. Expensive furniture and tech sold, high quality engine and parts repurposed.

        Yeah, then her servants would have to start filing paperwork and have another yacht pulled out of storage while they design the new one.

      As an added bonus lots of chemicals and crap will be put into the environment.

      Yup this sounds productive to vandalize someone’s boat.

        Tell us you didn’t read the article without saying that. Plus even if they had used normal paint, that’s literally nothing compared to what this yacht does on a regular basis.
