In 1535, 12 nude streaking Anabaptists run through Amsterdam streets.
After a sermon about the wrath of God, the dozen Anabaptists people chose a unique way to present their message. They removed all their clothes and ran through the streets. The twelve wanted to warn the people of divine wrath.
While, they received a lot of notice from this incident, but not good notice. The authorities quickly rounded up the twelve and sentenced all the men and some women to capital punishment. Authorities also added more stringent restrictions against the Anabaptists. Apparently, they did not want any more nude streaking through the streets.
