TIL in 2018, when Laura Loomer was kicked off of Twitter, she chained herself to the front door. But only to one door, and everyone used the other door and ignored her. (slrpnk.net)

Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theorist and activist, handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter's headquarters in New York City on Thursday, after she was banned from the platform for hate speech.

But the protest ended just over two hours later, with little fanfare, when Ms Loomer had to ask police officers to help free her from the cuffs.

Having only attached herself to one of the two doors, the activist did not fully obstruct the entrance and the company's employees seemed largely unconcerned by the protest as they walked past her.

She's not a clown, she's the entire circus.

Now im picturing someone blasting the circus march song on at her drowning her out while she 'protests'

Everyone walked through the left door because she chained herself to the alt right door

She was asked about this, and the reason was that it would be against the fire code to block both.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm actually impressed she planned this ahead like that

Found a photo. This is the "masterrace" everyone.

It's real and it's spectacular.

Captain America, thank you for your service

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That reference makes me happy

The fact that she didn't have an exit strategy and had to ask cops to help get her loose is the cherry on this deliciously stupid sundae.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Oh yah, and she posted about how her tires got "slashed", except they were 12 years old and and she had hit a curb.

What a twatwaffle.

I'm seriously considering the idea that this lady is a troll whose strategy is to smear the Republican party with cringe.

MTG needs some competition.

This is the person with direct access to a mentally feeble and easily manipulated man who might become US president again. Let that sink in.

Perfect Match for Don-old!
