Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theorist and activist, handcuffed herself to the front door of Twitter’s headquarters in New York City on Thursday, after she was banned from the platform for hate speech.
But the protest ended just over two hours later, with little fanfare, when Ms Loomer had to ask police officers to help free her from the cuffs.
Having only attached herself to one of the two doors, the activist did not fully obstruct the entrance and the company’s employees seemed largely unconcerned by the protest as they walked past her.
She was asked about this, and the reason was that it would be against the fire code to block both.
I’m actually impressed she planned this ahead like that
