I thought the same thing! Christ always spoke about defending & aiding those who are weak or in a dire situation. I was raised to be what I was told was Christian. Sadly I’d never read much of the Bible & actually believed I was. When I was older I had a serious crisis of faith. What I was hearing & being taught didn’t seem to line up with the little I had read. I don’t like being deceived & was having some serious doubts. It was actually the remarks & lessons of my college sociology professor that stuck with me & left me with a deeply unnerving feeling. Because I am a GIANT nerd, I threw myself into serious research. From the earliest manuscripts, the early church practices & church fathers, origins of other faiths & their texts, science, apologetics... I dug in. The more I dug the more astonished I became, & found very little of what is considered modern Christianity lines up with Biblical faith. Biblical literacy & comprehension is flummoxingly minimal. Idolatry seems to be the religion of the day, my truth, what’s right for me, making God into ones own image of him rather than taking the time to get to know who His word says He is. The Christian faith can all be reduced to the greatest commandment which is love. Sadly even fewer people have a proper understanding of love than they do the Bible. It’s actually quite heartbreaking. While all of this started with me ready to leave the faith & being critical of it, instead it cemented my faith, broadened my world view, was paradigm shifting, & gave me a whole new window with which I view others & the world. I’m beginning further study into apologetics & pray I can achieve my lofty goals to help others restore their faith through critical thinking, sound argument & reason. I know you stated you’re an atheist. Was it always that way for you or did something happen that changed your mind? Just asking, I like to try to understand all points of view.

@@carrot7590 Did you miss the entire colonial core to my comment? That’s where the majority of the crimes against humanity took place.

@@springchickena1 I don't feel that way at all, my friend. It's an absurd and dangerously egocentric way of seeing other people. And yes christianity has some super fucked up notions on race and women. Completely agree.
Vice News has really stepped up their quality in the last year. As many commenters across dozens of videos have said, these videos really remind us of the uploads from many, many years ago. Bravo Vice. Please don't leave us again.
@Tweed Penguin Respectfully, friend, I suspect you may be thinking of the Amish. Quakers are terribly involved in political activism, though our social media can be a bit dated at times, haha.
What good does this do though? If it's not weapons from BAE or Lockheed it'll be from China or Russia. There is no shortage of suppliers of weapons, at least most of the weapons from the UK and the US are relatively accurate and precise with minimal unintended casualties unlike those purchased from other sources that will just be dropped on mass for maximum casualties in the vicinity.
The big evil happens because of all the little "whaaa?" reactions that come out of people. They don't know and they don't care ... and that's the banality of it all. Evil happens not because good men do nothing but because nobody knows WTF they are doing, they just want to get paid.
There are many ministers that talk and never commit to action. I am glad I found a pastor that not only preached about pro-life but also raised seven children adopting four due to the duty and love he feels is earned. I understand the health of a mother and existential issues are indeed important but people like the minister and the Quaker is true example of love for one another without the full knowledge of who the suffering people were. Many people ask god’s existence and question how he can allow so much suffering, the way how I’ve been viewing the solution to suffering is to spread love with our actions. Many blessings to these two men, more people wether it’s of faith or not will change their world with selflessness. Peace.
US laws are quite different in this regard, AFAIK. I dont think similar actions would go without punishment in the states. Brits still have some morals.
These men are brave to stand up to such an overwhelming force. They really just needed to spread the word about the damaged plane and the movment to start making serious changes to international policy regarding weapons of war.
These guys conviction and bravery literally brought me to tears. I wish I would have heared of this story earlier. Cannot remember it getting any major coverage in the news. I might be wrong, but most likely this was not spread widely as to not spark copy cats. Especially after setting precedent regarding the aquittal. Here is what the judge had to say according to a news report: District Judge James Clarke said: They were impressive and eloquent men who held strong views about what they were doing and what they wanted to achieve. They impressed me as being natural in their delivery and honest throughout their evidence…” I heard about their belief of BAE’s role in the supply of aircraft to Saudi Arabia. I heard about their beliefs regarding the events in Yemen, that they include the death of civilians and the destruction of civilian property, and the basis for their belief that this amounted to war crimes… However, having considered in full the defence under sec 5 Criminal Damage Act 1971, I find the defendants not guilty.
The Quakers really have a good track record of action against war (I know pacifism is part of their religion but this goes past pacisism). Good on them both
those guys got damn lucky. If they were in the USA with the highest incarceration rates, they would been given 50 yrs or something ridiculously long prison sentences.
Can someone explain to us Americans how this legal defense works in the UK? In an American court, their sincerely held beliefs would have been completely irrelevant.
You risked your own liberty to help stop people from being blown up or starving to death because of a war that is total bullshit. Hats off to you both.
Can't believe they were found not guilty - "would do it again" - what about "will do it again"? - "They thought it was their only way to stop some other crime" - has that changed?
Somebody's heroes . Theseare the kind of guys I wish I knew they are the type of guys that'll start a revolution I'm one of those guys if you're here in America contact me
Judge: Why did you rob the bank? Me: They launder money to criminal organizations all over the word and charge % on their loans. Judge: You are not guilty and can keep all the money
Following their logic it would be fair if BEA would break in to hardware stores and damage the tools to prevent people breaking into air bases and damaging their planes.

Atheists need to as well, anyone should do what they can to help others. These two are amazing for what they did.
@@springchickena1 I don't feel that way at all, my friend. It's an absurd and dangerously egocentric way of seeing other people. And yes christianity has some super fucked up notions on race and women. Completely agree.
@@springchickena1 boohoo
@@Rashomon00 The Christian notion of race is that it doesn't exist.
Vice News has really stepped up their quality in the last year. As many commenters across dozens of videos have said, these videos really remind us of the uploads from many, many years ago.
Bravo Vice. Please don't leave us again.
Agreed
Give an example of when vice "left us"?

Proud to be Quaker! This is we’re about!
Not oatmeal....
@Tweed Penguin You’re thinking of Amish....
The oatmeal is fire though...🙄
@@JacquelynNhi Maple and brown sugar is the best thing ever!
@Tweed Penguin Respectfully, friend, I suspect you may be thinking of the Amish. Quakers are terribly involved in political activism, though our social media can be a bit dated at times, haha.
What good does this do though? If it's not weapons from BAE or Lockheed it'll be from China or Russia. There is no shortage of suppliers of weapons, at least most of the weapons from the UK and the US are relatively accurate and precise with minimal unintended casualties unlike those purchased from other sources that will just be dropped on mass for maximum casualties in the vicinity.
For American viewers, it is highly recommended to watch Yes Minister regarding Arms Sales.
I thought Richard D James had a tank.
LOL, I thought of RDJ too.
even if they some how leveled the whole air field with a bomb the saudi's would just get them from another factory or the US in less than a week :/
The cold cruel reality for now anyway
These people have balls of steel, actually, balls of fucking diamonds
Why does something this devastating, get less views than a "Royal tiff" so sad for the human race...
Because you touch yourself at night.
When they got caught should have just said just doing some maintenance work, carry on
I don't think these guys are big on lying.
This was one of the best prices from vice i have seen in a long time
Total admiration for these two blokes they stood by their convictions & actually did something to prevent further suffering Well Done
Although I agree with them. Destroying brilliant pieces of aeronautical engineering isn’t really a solution. It’s a government problem.
Good people, we need more of them!
The big evil happens because of all the little "whaaa?" reactions that come out of people. They don't know and they don't care ... and that's the banality of it all. Evil happens not because good men do nothing but because nobody knows WTF they are doing, they just want to get paid.
Lets be real, this is what Jesus would actually do.
you say "lets be real" and then you speculate, are you dumb?
@@ttt-ml9dj no but you seem like you haven't read much
Jesus is a socia-political activist if you disregard His divine nature.
Nonsense. Don't confuse a dog collar with Jesus my friend, they have nothing to do with each other.
@@donk1822 so you don't think Jesus would trash some weapons to save the lives of children? He absolutely would.
-What're you doing here?
-I'm here to... bless the planes.
There are many ministers that talk and never commit to action. I am glad I found a pastor that not only preached about pro-life but also raised seven children adopting four due to the duty and love he feels is earned. I understand the health of a mother and existential issues are indeed important but people like the minister and the Quaker is true example of love for one another without the full knowledge of who the suffering people were. Many people ask god’s existence and question how he can allow so much suffering, the way how I’ve been viewing the solution to suffering is to spread love with our actions. Many blessings to these two men, more people wether it’s of faith or not will change their world with selflessness. Peace.

Can't believe they got Aphex Twin on here!
dudes spirit animal is clearly a cat
A few good men. Jesus did something similar to this back then, but, it turned out terribly for him. Cheers from Canada
Actually, it turned out great for Christ, just as it did for Dr. King, Gandhi, etc.
Often you do have to die for your cause...
Savage! Definitely mad lads, well done.
So, Edward Snowden only has to become a minister and he's good?
US laws are quite different in this regard, AFAIK. I dont think similar actions would go without punishment in the states. Brits still have some morals.
These men are brave to stand up to such an overwhelming force. They really just needed to spread the word about the damaged plane and the movment to start making serious changes to international policy regarding weapons of war.
Best vice video in years. Two heros of mankind.
People with integrity like this are more than rare.
Thank god.
Rabbits are the real MVP
if Jezus were alive today, he'd be this guy!!
What courage and strength of conscience. It's these guys who make me believe that the world is still good and can be better.
Woah Richard D James is a minister now ? No wonder we’ve had no new Aphex Twin music in a while !
BASED
The thing they don’t understand is that the insurance companies will just pay for it
Weapons manufacturers dont fuel wars. Opinions and people in power do. People in power who have differing opinions will always lead to war.
Legends! Great documentary
Doing God's work. Lol

@@matthewbutler2011 💯💯🙏🙌
Best vice video in ages.
We won't forget these deeds, these kinds of men are truly given help by God himself.
This is so heartbreaking 💔
These guys conviction and bravery literally brought me to tears. I wish I would have heared of this story earlier. Cannot remember it getting any major coverage in the news. I might be wrong, but most likely this was not spread widely as to not spark copy cats. Especially after setting precedent regarding the aquittal.
Here is what the judge had to say according to a news report:
District Judge James Clarke said:
They were impressive and eloquent men who held strong views about what they were doing and what they wanted to achieve. They impressed me as being natural in their delivery and honest throughout their evidence…”
I heard about their belief of BAE’s role in the supply of aircraft to Saudi Arabia. I heard about their beliefs regarding the events in Yemen, that they include the death of civilians and the destruction of civilian property, and the basis for their belief that this amounted to war crimes…
However, having considered in full the defence under sec 5 Criminal Damage Act 1971, I find the defendants not guilty.
The Quakers really have a good track record of action against war (I know pacifism is part of their religion but this goes past pacisism). Good on them both
Sinister Minister!
People who restore faith in humanity. Beautiful
GO fund me for there bail if they do go to jail?
If someone did this in the US they would go to jail for many many years
They likely were lucky because they didn't actually break the planes - Vice would have to pay Millions in damages for that.
greed transcends law
👏 amazing work guys, man, ispiration to the max, thank you for your courage, this is defenetly light in the cave. Wow just wow 👏
those guys got damn lucky. If they were in the USA with the highest incarceration rates, they would been given 50 yrs or something ridiculously long prison sentences.
"We're not here to trash their gate locks"
Trashes fence instead
Did not they get the 4 stars?
Props to having that kind of conviction. Christ made people mad all the time. 🙏
Can someone explain to us Americans how this legal defense works in the UK? In an American court, their sincerely held beliefs would have been completely irrelevant.
the reverend looks like dylan brady's digi evolution
Oh, if only we were all like them.
Glad to see the judge understand the situation at hand. Using crime, to prevent crime.
I just dont understand why we all just cant get along
You risked your own liberty to help stop people from being blown up or starving to death because of a war that is total bullshit. Hats off to you both.
hats off to these 2
Can't believe they were found not guilty - "would do it again" - what about "will do it again"? - "They thought it was their only way to stop some other crime" - has that changed?
Somebody's heroes . Theseare the kind of guys I wish I knew they are the type of guys that'll start a revolution I'm one of those guys if you're here in America contact me
Some real Patriots right here, good job to these 2 dudes. Governments and Corporations Value Money over human life, Evil.
That's exactly what the whole problem !!! They care about money more then people !!!
They said wwjd and really took that to heart
3:30 this why you don't talk too much with strangers LOL
If i remember correctly the jet was taken to a local panel beater the next day
Judge: Why did you rob the bank?
Me: They launder money to criminal organizations all over the word and charge % on their loans.
Judge: You are not guilty and can keep all the money
Following their logic it would be fair if BEA would break in to hardware stores and damage the tools to prevent people breaking into air bases and damaging their planes.
well done. some actual anti war liberals. good on them
For some reason there is now a lot of pro war Liberals
When did that happen?
@@warrickmiller7651 since the Overton window shifted, some time during Obama.
War is a business that generates a lot of money. Money I personally don’t mind tapping into.
What do you expect? Who is going to manufacture guns if the don't get a profit from it? idiot hippie
I didn't know Richard D James became a Methodist Minister.
GG lads..
Thank you for your work comrades.
wings made of carbon fiber are "fragile" - fucking genius LOL
You guys are awesome trying to make a difference by not hurting anyone.
That explanation from BAE is just disgusting, BAE we wash our hands with the blood of children.
Their actions were useful for bae and their base security that's about it
