Must See: ‘Sopranos’ Star Boots Disruptive Climate Protesters From Live Show

Climate alarmists have been shouting their extreme demands in public for decades, but they have become particularly intrusive in recent years.

That trend was on display during a live performance by actor Michael Imperioli, but the co-star of “The Sopranos” made quick work of the interrupting activists.

According to the New York Post:

“The oceans are rising. It will swallow this city and this entire theater whole. I am putting my career on the line because we are not doing anything about this crisis. The water is coming for us!”

Imperioli later shouted at another, “Go back to drama school!”

But Strong, remaining in character, said, “Let them speak.”

A group called Extinction Rebellion took credit for the mid-performance demonstration. In a statement, they said, “Today’s action highlights the failure of governments and corporations to treat climate and ecological breakdown as the crisis it is.”

The scene captured widespread attention on social media:

Here’s some more coverage per Deadline:

After a couple minutes of shouting and chaos during the protest, an announcer on the venue’s PA system asked the cast to leave the stage area. Before the actors had a chance to exit, the protesters were removed. One of the activists struggled with ushers to the point of nearly falling to the ground.

The group’s tactic was similar to a recent protest during Les Miserables on London’s West End.

Although it was unknown whether charges had or would be filed, at least one NYPD vehicle with flashing lights was parked outside the Midtown theater following the performance.
