Stonehenge Spray-Painted Orange In Broad Daylight As Onlookers Try To Hold Back Vandals

Video footage shared online captured two protesters, belonging to the environmental group called Just Stop Oil, running toward Britain’s Stonehenge around midday on Wednesday, June 19, the day before the summer solstice is celebrated at Stonehenge.
