OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Avenger]

Well, how about for once you criticize the Russian Govt and Putin for what they are doing in Ukraine atm?
Invading internationally recognized borders, bombing civilians, schools, hospitals, and throwing his own troops into a slaughterhouse.
1 million Russian troops have been injured or died for what? A few hundred km's of land.
They've been humiliated by Ukraine by smarter warfare.
A war that Putin claimed would take 3 days, has lasted 3 years.
Great stuff Vladamir.

You and I both know sweet f**k all about the real reasons behind that war. We all carry biases and cherry-pick articles that confirm them. I struggle enough to understand some of the decisions our own government makes and the problems we actually face here, which is exactly why protests about overseas conflicts hold little to no interest for me. It’s also why I can’t stand people protesting in this country about overseas issues they barely understand.

You do realise that a lot of these people protesting these issues have actually come from these countries?

I’d argue that they are in the minority, like the idiots carrying on in Sydney as I write this.

Fair enough.

Seeing the footage on the Today show of the protestors just trash and treat the CBD like a rubbish tip just shows how much these idiots have completely lost the plot.

Its become a feral free for all for the clowns and its just the start.

And then you have former Australian of the year Grace Tame yelling out to globalise the intifada.

Like honestly i shake my head wasn't she a victim of rape now preaching support for sexual assault victims to now chanting that nonsense.

Her Australian of the year award should be stripped she is a genuine disgrace from the rot that was dished up last night.

Except HJ's take was focussed solely on the Clintons, within a partisan agenda... and the pedos were/had nothing at all to do with Trump

.........and they held satanic rituals in a basement that does not exist underneath Comet Pizza.

Our wonder if our local lefties will condemn their actions or stay strategically silent?

 

[Bandwagon]

I condemn whatever the f**k you guys are talking about because it's obviously unAustrayan.

They will blame the police for things getting out of control.

In fact the Palenstine Action Group are organising another protest this arvo in the city against Police Brutality

Herzog visit as it happened: Protesters rally outside Sydney police station after nine charged following chaotic scenes in CBD; Police claim actions ‘justified’ as Minns defends response

Protesters gathered for a second night in a row amid calls for an investigation into police conduct, while the Israeli president attended a Bondi synagogue.

Didn't that Josh Lee's wanker start his own political party recently...

He is going to be a career bumb..

Also if the organisers incited their halfwit mob to break the law I expect charges to be laid against them.

Can we not lecture about strategic silence? If someone threw a pipe bomb into a "different" crowd, it would be scandalous. Imagine if the perp was islamic or the potential victims were jewish.






The problem with the protest yesterday was that the rushed laws by Minns meant that the Supreme Court could not ban the Town Hall protest NOR could it authorise it.

Stupid drafting of the legislation meant that stationary assembly was still permitted, but marching was not.

The problem started when the police issued a move on order after Town Hall was declared a Major Event Area. Why ? Dunno. That stirred everyone up and then "move on orders" were issued. Then some twits decided to march to Macquarie Street. That's a can of worms right there. In came the linked arms, pepper spray and horses.

Bottom line, violence is always bad outcome. I think it could have been prevented / better handled.

Everyone has the right to protest in a democracy and to take that right away is wrong. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with the premise of the beef. People have the right to have a say.

Many people are surprised why Herzog was allowed in the country, as other "aggressors" would probably would be not. Or maybe we should put it more delicately - he would have been discouraged from coming. The Bondi atrocities noted, there are other less controversial dignitaries that could have taken his place.

If Australia hosts the head of a genocidal state, it must obey the law

Convenient and cowardly deflection. @Gronk 101.

 

[85 Baby]

I disagree that its racist.
I'm sure you don't. (no sarcasm)

I do not agree with the above btw. But its kinda funny that some lefties beleive the police are recruiting Neo Nazis. Likes seriously?

Even funnier is that this is what the lefties all voted for.

Josh Lees already is a bum they should be all charged anyway and any non-Aussie citizen found guilty should tossed on the next plane and sent back to where ever they came from.

Albo is a traitor is what i have seen him called from a few of the fruitloops today about letting Herzog into the country lol.

 

[Gronk]

No, you have to lodge a Form 1 with the Supreme Court under the Minns legislation.

I don't want the harbour bridge or parts of the city shut down any more or for tax payers money to be spent on police etc for the same feral self-obsessed protesters. The tax payers have had enough of that mob.
