Environmental activists in London are violently clashing not with police but with commuters

In more than a year of protest, city-center shutdowns, and a policy of deliberately attempting to get arrested, some of the most violent moments of the Extinction Rebellion movement in London took place this morning when protesters clashed, not with police, but with commuters. In videos posted online from Canning Town, a station on the Docklands Light Railway in east London, angry crowds waiting on the platform seethe, shout, and throw things at two protestors who have climbed on top of a train carriage.
