I think it was pretty obvious - the idea that all people who feel entitled to act outside the law being dumb - it's a sweeping statement and it is false.

There are plenty of smart people who act outside the law - be they doing so in protest of a higher cause (Assange, Mandela) or simply because they don't give a ****. (most fraudsters for example, highly intelligent serial killers, etc)

suggesting people at this rally/protest are in the same ilk as Nelson Mandela is the only sweeping statement here mate rofl.

Please respect other posters and learn what a sweeping statement actually means before saying it next time.

I only added to posts after 1 minute.
You can't make a blanket statement that intelligent people don't commit crimes and expect to be taken seriously

They're smart enough to know the reality of the military-industrial complex.

Yeah, then concrete themselves to a car that will do nothing to stop actually it.

No one is disputing anyone's right to protest here, as long as it's done legally.

 

[rank and file]

After all, the Declaration of Independence does hold the following words, does it not?

Lol the Declaration of Independence,that post needs to be read in Russel Brand's voice.

Bring back Guy Fawkes night so people can let off a bit of steam by burning shit and going mad with fireworks.

For those playing at home, a sweeping statement is a generalisation, not what this guy said.

There won't be another military expo in Melbourne again so the protestors have done their job well.

2 things can be true guy.

sweeping statement/generalization

1. something that you say or write that is too general and that has not been…

quit while you are behind.

yes, there absolutely will rofl.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Nah, the police won't allow it.
It will be moved to an unintelligent redneck state like Queensland.

Now you don't understand the difference between AND and OR.

Try to catch up.

Why would the police not allow it?

you are clutching now.

You were wrong. Just accept it and move on.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Why would the police not allow it?

Because they don't want to get injured and waste their resources of defending private companies.

i think you would like to think that how its going to work.

it is up to governments.

If the economic benefits of hosting the expo outweigh the negatives of hosting the expo. it will go ahead again. Defense is a huge industry and money talks.

The premier and Mayor have both said it was very successful economically. Nothing said has indicated they won't do it again, if the opportunity pops up. Police certainly have made no statement about it, they have made no statements about officers being unduly injured.

Actually, if you break it down, the protest is the thing that actually impacted the economy negatively, not the expo itself.

It's a biennial event.
Brisbane and Adelaide have already hosted it.
Tassie missed out because covid.
Everyone gets a turn.

It's a great economic boon for Melboure, also known as blood money.

Government has already said they will bid for it again.
