Then they came for the libertarians : Comments

By Peter Fenwick, published 27/9/2021

But we are not safe if we politicise the police force. We are not safe if those who wish to criticise government are met with violent confrontation. We are not safe if journalists are dissuaded from reporting protests accurately.

Police in groups of six: the number required to throw little old ladies to the ground. Victorians need someone to keep them safe from police.

We would all be safe if the protesters didn't resort to violence and just went and got their jabs and wore their masks as most responsible citizens are doing when they are able.

Hey VK3AUU, should they chant "Yes Sir, No sir, What ever you say sir" as they do it?

Unfortunately, in Victoria at least, the violence comes from the police. I saw a video last night of po-faced senior VicPol officers pontificating on violence against women, while the video showed Victorian police throwing women to the ground, pepper spraying them, and strangling one of them. Disgusting hypocrites.

Yes, it's possible if we do as we told, dump democracy, there might not be as much violence against people of both sexes.

Disagree. We are not safe if a tiny minority of nut jobs are allowed to riot over health orders they refuse to comply with during a pandemic! Or with anarchists who think the laws of the land don't apply to them! Ditto, extreme right-wing, left-wing garbage!

And as a combination of the population, only able to represent less than 20% of the vox pop, at best!? And then throw petrol on to the flame by refusing to get vaccinated?

This group, if they shared a brain between them? It would still rattle in a thimble?

Personally, if they refuse to comply? I believe their BS protests ought to be met with live rounds from masked law enforcement? But hey, that would require AWOL testicular fortitude!

Hasbeen, There's a time and a place for, up yours, Sir! Not when asked to drive on the left and not to shout fire, fire in a crowded theatre.
Or comply with sensible, public health orders! Like, please don't spit while infected with tuberculosis, least you unwittingly spread your infection to otherwise healthy individuals.

That goes quadruple for pathogens that are more virulent and lethal and can be spread from the vapour of your breath in a mere 15 seconds! Vapour that's ever-present, if only visible during cold periods!
