    Have each of these JSO nitwits record a video telling a major car dealerships that only the back half of their lot can be used for ICE vehicles. The front half is for electrics and hybrids only.

    They’ll scoff.

    Go paint a line down their lot, separating front and back halves.

    They’ll scoff.

    Target your JSO “civil disobedience” at any of those ICE cars in the front half.

    They’ll notice. At that point, stop talking to them and paint some more lines.

    Start talking to insurance companies: they are the ones who will be putting a dollar amount on that extortion, and charging dealers commensurate to the risk. When they all realize the dealers just need to stock and promote electric vehicles instead of ICE vehicles, they’ll take the hint.

    Pitting the insurance industry against the oil industry is much more likely to achieve the goals of JSO than harassing the general public.

      They would simply get arrested at the first threat because that’s already illegal and people like you, who dislike protest, are in charge of the levers of law enforcement. Your theoretical protest wouldn’t even happen.

        JSO already crosses the “illegal” boundary with their traffic obstruction. Since they insist on illegal activity “civil disobedience” anyway, I would say that a calculated, effective act of protest against property is far less egregious than their counterproductive, impotent, whiny angst.

        If a slight risk of jail time makes them squeamish, I can only doubt their commitment to the environment. Seems all they really want is attention.
