Pandemic reflexes: lockdowns and arrests in Victoria, Australia : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 7/9/2020

The Victorian Bar was deeply unimpressed by a police operation that seemed, not merely rough in execution but untutored, and said so in its media release on September 3.

If the reign of terror continues in Victoria, the Andrews government might find itself facing 1918 Russia, a la the Romanovs, in a nice little basement somewhere.

Ignorance of the law has never ever been an excuse to break it! Never! I saw the video of the arrest, no physical force was used and the police were very restrained and polite!

As for the alleged illegal weapons? Unregistered weapons remain illegal! And folks with a previous crimminal conviction cannot legally buy a firearm. Not that I'm concluding this was the case here.

If you do not understand what incitement means, you can always look it up in the dictionary. For mine, the lady did know, knew exactly what she was doing and was arrested for it, as you and would be if we did likewise!

One shouldn't expect different or preferential treatment if one is a female, pregnant, or of an ethenic minority! Her kids will learn a valuable lesson from this! That nobody, but nobody is above the law!

That said, the optics did not look great!

Like the complete fools who demonise anyone challenging the idioitc gw religion so the same marxist now demonise anyone who challengers the idiotic unscientific lockdown 'laws'. Notice how the lying liberal media label any person opposing these draconian laws as ant vaxxers, 5G conspiracy theorist and any other nutter character they can find. Really the press is the enemy of the people. I suppose most of them (especially Govt journalist/commentators) still on fat salaries. Eventually enough people will awaken from their stupidity to see locking down healthy people is one of the dumbest things ever done.

A tad heavy handed perhaps.
But better that than wind up like the US of Paranoia with the orange idiot in (no) control.

We need to introduce the Soot Morrison Approach that I outlined earlier in the article 'We need the courage to reopen' started on the 4/9/20 by Vladimir Vinokurov.

Wow you lefties are full of it! If this was some middle Eastern rapist illegal you would all be piling in, lead by the Labour party rubbish. That's OK we now know the rules! You can monster anyone once you have politicised the police after all.
When Labour eventually lose all commissioners should be sacked and sued to ensure no pension. The reality is that now it is politicised the new government will want to avail themselves of a Gestapo to oppress all dissent. Good luck lefties!
