If they ever decide to do that crap again…
A pair of climate activists who vandalized the National Archives Rotunda back in February when they dumped red powder on the encasement protecting the U.S. Constitution have learned their fate.
Donald Zepeda, 35, of Maryland, and Jackson Green, 27, of Utah, were sentenced to 24 months in prison and 18 months, respectively, in the Feb. 14, 2024, attack on the U.S. Constitution housed at the National Archives in Washington D.C., U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves and FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge David Geist of the Washington Field Office Criminal and Cyber Division announced on Monday.
Zepeda pleaded guilty on Aug. 15 to felony destruction of property for dumping a fine red powder over a display case containing the U.S. Constitution in the Rotunda of the Archives building.

It has seemed that many of the climate ‘activists’ had gotten their hands slapped (at best), with a small fine, if not allowed to go free (well, there were those in Germany that the public yanked loose from the roadway).
I think that the new administration is going to not only taken a different look at climate change (spit), AND the protesters too!
It’s about time, IMHO!!!
Are there no stocks?
I’ll bet money that Biden’s string-pullers pardon them both before the end of their puppet’s term.
Notice that the “security” folks let it happen. Just stood around while they spread their pink powder.
The whole thing was a setup, planned.
They were *allowed* to do their little pissy protest.
But I am glad they at least got some punishment.
My favorite stupid was the protestors who glued their hands to airport runways in Germany. They used epoxy resin. I’m trying to find a follow up on whether or not they got to keep their hands or not…
All- Thanks for the comments, Tuvela, no idea.
Volkswagen did it better.
Some eco-nuts glued their hands yo their lobby floor.
VW waited til the end of the day, turned off the lights and locked the doors.
They also turned the heating off – because they used LNG or oil for that.
Then the activists complained that they were cold 😀
Should have built a new artwork around them:
Soundproof silo enclosure with an outer layer of red brick. Call it “Monument to bad decisions.”
This could have been an episode of Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery”
Plexiglass might have been more interesting.
John- Yes they did!
Tired- LOL, I remember that!
Ag- Snort
TOS- Snerk…
It wasn’t long enough a sentence for them, IMO. It should have been measured in years, not months with a fine they’d be paying for decades.
