Where are the animal rights people here btw? They'll happily protest outside Flemington... Haven't heard a peep of condemnation for such appalling behaviour towards animals...

That's probably them mate. They'll also be out the front of Flemington on Cup Day.

Black Caviar's owner cared for her so much they let her be f***ed to death. Imagine how horses that aren't money trees for their owners are treated, these people might have a point.

You seem to be part of the rent-a-crowd

I guess that must be a pretty convenient way of dismissing most protests in your mind.

Find me a protestor that isn't an ignorant moron and I'll find you a wallaby with wings.

On the radio:
“From the river to the sea!”
“Do you know which river and which sea?”
“The Jordan River and the Red Sea!”

On the radio:
“From the river to the sea!”
“Do you know which river and which sea?”
“The Jordan River and the Red Sea!”

Can you demonstrate that was said in the protests in Melbourne, DRU?

 

[Gough]

Apparently the protestors are the problem.

It's good they have documentation but surely given the prevalence of phones these days they have videos of the alleged acts by police


I don't support the expo by the way, Defence wasted millions on staff attending and the parties around it create the perception of corruption. This and Avalon should lose all government funding and attendance. Defence should put out tenders for what they need without the junkets.

It was on a radio station. I didn't hear it, personally.

I did see two girls at the school demo (which all the kids took the day to attend) asked if they approved of Hamas and they looked at each other and said "What's that?"

Also saw a video of a woman shouting "From the nation to the sea!" Then, when queried, "From the mountain to the sea!" Sounded good anyway.

After scrolling through the entire thread I can’t believe this excellent video hasn’t been posted:



Or this from a guy who should know better than most:



Eisenhower would have been called a Marxist CCP shill Greenie idiot had he made that exact same speech today.

Protest leader makes huge blunder in fiery live interview with Tom Elliott

Tom Elliott has clashed live on air with an anti-war protester organiser amid the chaos on Melbourne’s streets on Wednesday. Police swarmed the area around the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre where protestors gathered as the Land Defence expo begins. Protest leader Renee was asked by...

[Demons09]

These losers don’t even know what they’re protesting about.

 

[schneebly111]

That’s just Gotcha “journalism”. Could try the same with some of 3AW’s “personalities” and you’d get the same response

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Thr protestors are generally all about themselves first, the actual cause a very distant second.

Which weapon companies have you bought shares in, Kram?

 

[schneebly111]

These losers don’t even know what they’re protesting about.

If you love gotchas go to an Anzac parade and ask when did the Anzacs ever “fight for my freedom”……

I don’t need gotchas you would have to be an absolute peanut to think you’re going to get any support for your cause by flinging shit at the police it would be quite the opposite.

Try to correctly format a post first.

Secondly if the military industrial complex thinks it’s going to get support for its cause by provoking and propping up wars that have killed, maimed, displaced and starved millions all over the world it would be the opposite.

A bag of poo being thrown is about 1,000,000 times less harmful than the bombs, gas, bullets, shells, diseases, torture and abject horror the MIC has unleashed on the world in the last 12 months alone.

 

[schneebly111]

Apparently the protestors are the problem.

Anti war protesters have been reviled throughout history. The disrupt the government and MIC narrative on how war is “necessary”. So they are mercilessly attacked as “traitors”, “cowards”, “commies” or “haters of the troops” by the powers that be.

Usually after the dust has settled they are proven right.

A warm weather port for Russia can easily be mistaken for personal liberty.

That’s great quoting another nobody.

As recently as twenty odd years ago those who protested against Gulf War 2 were condemned from pillar to post, now you have a hard time pinning down anyone who will claim to have thought it a good idea outside of those whose historical legacy is tied to it.

 

[schneebly111]

Who first warned us about the dangers of the military industrial complex? Who invented the term? A “nobody” called Dwight Eisenhower, the guy who defeated Hitler and became President. Wouldn’t call him a “nobody”…..
