Indeed Foxy,
it was also repeatably reported that someone threw acid at the cops.

I am afraid that the article I read recently that the Greens are
no longer what they were is very true.
They are no longer an environmentally orientated movement but have
turned into a hard left socialist movement.
They seem to be aligning with the Moslem Vote to some extent, but they
should heed that warning "until they come for you".

Never mind, it will all come out in the wash !

The core issue is militarism, and the display and sale of weapons of war. I agree with the motives of the protesters. The exact nature of the violence is unknown, subject to manipulation and exaggeration. Several Zionist warmongers were in attendance peddling the very weapons used to kill thousands of innocent children in Gaza. I deplore all forms of violence, be it by protesters, or by police, worse than both of those are the paddlers of murder, showing off their murdering tools of trade!

As I understand it - the expo is about companies from
overseas coming to Australia to show our government the
best and latest in military equipment that there is available
worldwide.

Equipment that our government should know about for defence
and the national security of our country.

Realistically, nobody wants more wars. Also realistically we
do have to be prepared for defence should the need arise.
Protesting is a right that people should be able to have.
But violence should not play a part in any protests. People
can protest peacefully. And governments also have a right to
be able to have expos of the latest military equipment with
which to defend the country.

Hi Foxy,

"Protesting is a right that people should be able to have.
But violence should not play a part in any protests."

Hear, hear, I totally agree with that, and in this case I extend that to the police as well.

As a pacifist I cannot condone merchants of war putting on display their deadly wares for sale. At this so called expo was a large contingent of Zionists warmongers offering for sale the very weapons that are being used today in Gaza to murder thousands of innocent women and children.

I find the notion that you must prepare for war to prevent war an absurdity, it just don't happen that way, and history bears that out. We as human beings must find a better way, otherwise our total annihilation is assured.

In all honesty, can anyone claim that protesters are peaceful ? I mean, seriously ?

Realistically, nobody wants more wars
Foxy,
You'd be surprised !
