Indeed. The whole point of targeting that specific painting was that it is protected by a glass sheet. They had no intention of damaging the painting (and they probably didn't consider the possibility of damaging the frame, but the frame isn't exactly in the same league of "expensive and notable" as the painting itself.)

For JSO it's exactly the kind of stunt that strikes the right balance of high newsworthiness and low impact that they are looking for.

The individuals know the possible consequences, and they're willing to go to prison for their cause.

They're not trying to change the minds of people who are massively anti-JSO - those kinds of people are a lost cause to them. If you just get annoyed/angry at their antics then you're not their target audience.

They're targetting the people who are worried about what this planet will look like for future generations, or those are less aware of the problems that JSO are trying to highlight.

And so every time someone who is massively anti-JSO bumps a thread about JSO it helps get it into the eyes of more people who will be increasingly sympathetic to their cause.

Keep up the good work!

(I support their actions but I don't contribute to JSO financially. Nor would I want to risk my freedom by joining in on their direct actions. I've been held up by one of their protests before and missed the first 15 minutes or something I was trying to get to, but that's a small price to pay. I've been held up far worse by weather, roads closed due to car accidents or other random things plenty of times.)
