The Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group in the U.K., is getting people's attention... in a negative way.
Now, because many individuals already had enough with their activities, a counter group decided to attack its event.
Just Stop Oil's Event Derailed by Alarms Attached to Balloons!
According to The Daily Mail UK's latest report, the Just Stop Oil organization decided to throw a party.
However, their banquet was derailed after the counter group called "Just Stop Pissing People Off" sent balloons with annoying rape alarms.
"Props to @j_s_p_p_o for their impeccable action design," said JSO via its official Twitter post.
Props to @j_s_p_p_o for their impeccable action design. We invited them to eat with us, but the alarms they let off at our banquet instead were the perfect metaphor for the urgency of the climate crisis ✊ pic.twitter.com/ohr3RSfezh

The environmental activist group said that they invited JSPPO to eat with them. However, the counter group decided to let off alarms attached to balloons.
Instead of supporting JSO, some Twitter users decided to criticize the environmental organization.
One of them asked if there were fossil fuels used in the preparation of the food prepared for JSO's formal event.
He added that if they stop all fossil fuel too rapidly, how could the organization get the food they need?
The latest incident that JSO experienced shows that people are definitely not on their side.

Why JSO is Criticized
You may be wondering why the Just Stop Oil organization is criticized by many people in the U.K. and other parts of the world.
This is because of how they do their protests. BBC News reported that the main tactic of the environmental group is to disrupt traffic.
In most cases, U.K. residents are furious with the disruptions caused by JSO.
One of these was posted on TikTok, showing a mother asking the protesters to clear the way since her baby needed to go to the hospital.

Meanwhile, other people are angry since they just want to go to work. However, JSO protesters are blocking their way. In the United Kingdom, the wilful obstruction of a highway has a penalty of 51 weeks imprisonment.

The National Highways and Transport for London already asked for High Court injunctions to prevent these protesters from blocking or causing any disruptions on major roads.
Some JSO protesters were already arrested for their unacceptable way of campaigning.
However, the organization's members are still doing their strategy despite people's criticisms.
