If you feel outraged by her detention then be aware that thousands of people you've never heard of have suffered the same fate.

I hope she has a big glass showcase full of pictures of her being carried out by various police officers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Greta Thunberg was forcibly removed by the Swedish police for blocking the entrance to parliament for a second day along with a few dozen other climate activists.
Ms Thunberg, who was in a sit-down protest against “political inaction” over the spiralling climate crisis, was picked up by two police officers and dragged away from the parliament building.
“The climate justice movement has, for decades, been repeating the same message over and over again, like a broken record, and we feel like we are not being heard,” Ms Thunberg told the Associated Press.
This week’s protests came as the EU Environment Agency released its first-ever continent-wide assessment of the risks of the climate crisis, warning members states to prepare for its “catastrophic” impacts.
“Hundreds of thousands of people would die from heatwaves, and economic losses from coastal floods alone could exceed €1 trillion per year,” the report warned under a pessimistic projection of warming trends.
A UK court acquitted her last month for obstructing the entrance to a major oil conference after the judge ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict.

keep on making them roll that dice.

Greta was flexing that keffiyeh when it was still unpopular. She's a real one.
-
And she was not in a good mood.

Nice to see someone who understands how to protest instead of the dip shits blocking ambulances and defacing paintings in the UK.
-
what difference is she making
-
More of a difference than you're making, I fucking guarantee it

Making headlines removed

Many years later, she's out there. She's still doing the nitty gritty. Could of cashed in and been a public speaker. I appreciate and respect what she does.
She's a real one.
Greta Thunberg is the next generation of Bernie Sanders. Protect and cherish her.

Learn basic grammar, FFS.
No need to be rude about it, though.
Ikr like evr even rmr witch wrds 2 use?
Edit: sadly it wouldn't let me put the witch emoji for which
There is no such thing as basic grammar, FFS. If you knew what they meant then they conveyed their meaning perfectly and you are being needlessly rude. Unless you are grading a paper that has specific requirements for Standard American English(TM) there is absolutely no reason to be a cock about someone else's perfectly expressive language.
