Far left climate change protestor arrested for throwing cake at “Mona Lisa” painting

A 36-year-old man has been arrested and placed in psychiatric care after he smeared a glass screen encasing the Mona Lisa with cake in a purported protest against artists not focusing enough on “the planet”. Officials at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the enigmatic portrait holds pride of place, declined to comment on the bizarre incident on Sunday, which was captured on several phones and circulated widely on social media. The work by Leonardo da Vinci, which has been the target of vandalism attempts in the past, was unharmed thanks to its bulletproof glass case. A Twitter user identified as Lukeee posted a video showing a museum employee wiping a mess off the glass and another showing a man dressed in white being escorted away by security guards.

“A man dressed as an old lady jumps out of a wheelchair and attempted to smash the bulletproof glass of the Mona Lisa. Then proceeds to smear cake on the glass and throws roses everywhere, all before being tackled by security,” Lukeee wrote. Speaking French, the man in the video says: “There are people who are destroying the Earth … All artists, think about the Earth. That’s why I did this. Think of the planet.” No images have emerged showing the actual incident. An inquiry into an attempt to vandalise a cultural work had been opened, the Paris prosecutor’s office said. The Mona Lisa has been behind glass since a Bolivian man threw a rock at the painting in December 1956, damaging her left elbow. In 2005 it was placed in a reinforced case that also controls temperature and humidity.
Liberal men really cant help themselves from dressing like women

It does have a protective case.
Anyone who's been to the Louvre will see the tourists crowding around it but it's always in a case.

Really, what is wrong with the climate? Weather has been changing for 4.5 billion years!
By far, the largest political football ever.

The most amazing part was him being able to get through the 300 deep throng of Chinese tourists in front of it.

Isn’t that behind glass? I’ve seen the Mona Lisa in person before, and I’m almost sure I remember it’s behind glass.

Yeah, it’s in a case. There’s no way he could have damaged it with a cake.

Yeah should have read through the OP. He didn’t vandalize shite. This is all that happened after that:
Edit the OP for the Mona Lisa being vandalized because:

So, another liberal, move along

I have been to the Louve 5 times, the Mona Lisa is in its own gallery encased in a bigtime protective case. All this attempt did was make someone have to break out the index.
It was probably harder getting all the people trying to take selifes out of the way.

Who comes up with an idea like that? I mean do they drop acid then contemplate how they can assault the Mona Lisa?
