From your Guardian article, there was another one here that made this point.

Blood v urine. I don’t know. It’s both pretty awful to me.

Crucifixion was intended to be bloody and brutal. It’s aim was to terrify onlookers with this message: “This is the fate for those who spark the anger of Rome. Avoid it.” Of course, by attacking that art gallery, those four ‘youts’ were acting more according to the tactics of the legionaries who crucified Jesus than those of Jesus himself. But of courses if that thought enter their heads, said heads would promptly explode.
