From Paul's link,

"The prosecution requested the defendant not be allowed to directly or indirectly make contact with the 61-year-old victim or any other stop-Adani protesters, including through social media.

Magistrate Athol Kennedy warned Mr McDonald not to answer any messages from unknown people on social media as stop-Adani protesters may try to bait him into contacting them and breaching bail."

Does this tell us anything?

After the fact I do believe that the bloke on the Horse was foolish in doing what he did & galloping that horse around a crowd as he did.

Listen you pair of old and biased farts, you know the truth and the facts, it is you who do not want to accept them because it doesn't help your ideologies or convictions.
The example you give is in no way related to this situation and you know it.
You're clutching at straws.
Paul, you convoluted, argumentative twat, 'mowing down' innocent people with a car, has no comparison to what these idiots are guilty of.
The guy on the horse did his little 'jig' with no intention of physical injuries to anyone.
Unlike the guy in 'your' car example.
The horse guy broke down in court because what happened is precisely what he did 'not' want to happen.
The idiots egging her, and others, on, to shut the gate, are to blame for all this.
She got precisely what she deserved, he didn't.
If he had set out to harm anyone, I'd be the first one to say, 'throw the book at him', but trust you marshmallow brained twats to 'try one on', even though you know you're wrong.
Shame on you, disgraceful.
This is precisely what I have been saying about the left, you will deny the truth in favour of a fiction which helps your agenda.
The only problem with that scenario is, when you get caught out lying, you lose any ground you thought you'd gained, and in fact set yourselves even further back than where you started.
The word pathetic comes to mind.
Just so we are clear, and people understand where your coming from, you want us to believe that a fanatical, 'nut job', with premeditation, and full conviction, with a 'must kill as many people as possible' agenda, in a car, is anywhere near the same as a guy on a horse, setting out to do, God knows what, but absolutely not intending to injure anyone, (obvious by the stark reality of what resulted by the actions of these mongrels, 'protesting', and breaking down in court, thereby involuntarily, expressing extreme remorse)is anywhere near the same as each other, or even related in any way.

Issy, Please humour me, I don't get your point or question.
What do you mean by, 'does this tell us anything'?

From the video it is evident that the horseman was in full control of the horse and that the horse was very well trained, witness the turn before he went out the gate.

He was not near people until they started to run towards him and note that the gate is wide open when he arrives but is partly shut when he leaves.

What reason was there to shut the gate?

not near people until they started to run towards him
isMise,
Sounds like the opportunistic maggots saw an opportunity to escalate a harmless situation by deliberately getting into harm's way.
I'm not saying it was like that (I wasn't there & I can't believe the Media) but I would be more surprised if it wasn't deliberate !
