As climate protests surge across Europe, acts of civil disobedience have become commonplace, and gluing hands to surfaces has been a primary card used in the activist playbook.

In this instance, however, the police come to the conclusion that the gluing is not significant enough to require careful extraction, and thus proceed to rip the protestors hands off one by one. This seems to be the correct conclusion too, as the girl in front of this guy lets out only a small wince as her hand is extracted, and seems to have the pain under control. But when it comes to his hand, it’s showtime.
If you’re not ready to deal with a bit of pain, perhaps it’s not a good idea to glue your hand to the ground of a busy street. After all, it only bought him an extra minute of traffic blockage. Then again, the world cup is approaching, and France might need a few more players.

A South Carolina Starbucks manager has accused her employees of kidnapping and assaulting her after they staged a “march on the boss” protest to demand higher wages. The incident occurred after Starbucks raised its hourly pay from $12 to $15 an hour only for non-union locations, something the National Labor Relations Board said was in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. The striking baristas demanded the $15 an-hour wage that had just been granted to a nearby non-union location.

The manager, Melissa Morris, claimed that employees would not let her leave until they got a raise and that she was assaulted. The employees were suspended with pay and banned from entering any Starbucks location.
Everything changed however when a TikTok video went viral showing the situation and Morris leaving the location after brushing by a worker.
Ultimately, all employees were reinstated, although three were subsequently fired for an unrelated incident. The employees are now filing a lawsuit against Starbucks for manufacturing a false police report.
