Victorian Covid Outbreak 2021

Not great (if true), but also not worth the police brutality that has abounded. Love how those in here bemoan the 'far-right' in one breath while applauding authoritarian police states with the other. The state of the world today truly baffles me.

Okay then, nothing anyone says will convince you otherwise.

Like how the motorists attacked by the 'protesters' were obviously plants.

How the journalist that was attacked was really working for the police.

You are going to go after the police regardless of these campaigners actions.

Hang on....

There's been 2 days of relatively heavy protests in one state (in terms of police response and violence) - and US Republicans are pushing for sanctions against Australia???

That's probably the absurd thing I've ever read.

I'd love to see proof of this supposed outrage by US Republicans. They probably think they are talking about Melbourne in Florida

Dunno what videos you've seen. I've seen nothing but absolutely fascist, over the top tactics from the Victorian police. Pretty disgusting. US Republicans are considering pushing for sanctions to be imposed against Australia as a result. Congratulations Dan Andrews, you've literally turned us into a third world dictatorship.

words cant even describe how stupid this comment is.

and please, who gives a fk about what republicans in america think? these are the same republicans who allow weekly school shootings because people should have the freedom to military grade weapons of war, the banning of abortion even in the case of rape because women shouldnt have the right to choose what happens with their bodies, and ban any kangaroo products because they saw it in crocodile dundee. they even voted trump as their president.

oh and also, those same republicans took us into a war for oil (not a phrase, they admitted it later that it was to secure the oil fields) based on fabrications about WMD's, where australian soldiers died for their money. The very shrine these rioters pissed on was built to commemorate these and all fallen australian soldiers.

How can anyone not bemoan the 'far-right'?

Forget your views on COVID, Dan Andrews, and whatever else - surely no one here supports the 'far-right'??

I don't think anyone does support the far-right. But I also don't think the 'far right' exists in Australia. And it's just a term used to label anyone who is against big government.

Josh Reid Jones posted on Instagram this:

"If you are marching through the city calling Dan a dictator, whilst representing less than 1% of the population of the state but asking a democratically elected official to step down because you're marching through the city that is in fact actual dictatorship behaviour."

Good take.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Look in the mirror mate. You're one of the most unhinged right wing nutjobs on this site.

That's the point exactly, if you think that - you're off the planet.

Don't tie yourself in knots trying to justify that insanity. If you think that's the case then you must be opposed to ALL protests. I hope you said the same thing about BLM last year.

Also it is clear that person doesn't know what 'dictatorship' means, how could a bunch of people with no power or authority ever be a dictator.

That BLM protests were dictators for protesting? I'm sorry, can you read the English language?

It's clear that you don't know what 'dictatorship' means either...

I didn't say anything, I clearly quoted somebody. Do you know the difference?

I don't understand why Andrews is a dictator for Lockdowns and floating mandatory vaccines - when this is already happening in NSW.

They've been locked down, had construction halted, already had mandatory Vax happening and are following the same roadmap as Vic.

Aside from a catchy Herald Sun nickname, I don't really see the difference between Andrews and Berejliklian.

Go to a 3rd world country and you'll see some real OVER THE TOP police tactics. Police gave them opportunity to protest all day for consecutive days, even though the protestors disrupted local businesses, stopped emergency services (including holding up ambulances), caused fear to the average Victorians and desecrated a shrine.

It could be easily argued the police showed too much leniency to protestors. They even moved their police line back at the shrine as a gesture of goodwill in order to appease the protestors and encourage them to leave but the protestors choose to stay and continue desecrating the shrine. BTW this was shown on a facebook live stream with over 50k viewers (not by the main media channels).

Yet the police are the bad guys, you're opinion is stupid and has demonstrated you have no idea regarding police tactics nor dictatorships. Enjoy believing the other dumb protesting sheep. Don't compare this to BLM either, show some respect. You can try to sprout your misinformation here but you'll rightly be called out for it.

How the **** is maintaining law & order suddenly authoritarian? Do you know what authoritarian means? The world in your mind is completely different to reality...

they're both acting like dictators, that's what people don't understand, this isn't just political cheerleeding "go blue, boo red", this is identifying abhorrent political practice and calling it out. Some of us have actual opinions based on principles, not just what the media and tribalistic support tells us we should be supportive or anti.

Who's law and order, the law and order set by an authoritarian using emergency powers? By your standards nothing could be authoritarian because the government has set rules and is enforcing them. Your interpretation of authoritarianism is effectively circular where nothing could be authoritarian. Your post was literally so dumb that I almost had an aneurism reading it.

And said.. "good point", was that not a personal validation of the quote you posted or were they just vapid words you typed for no reason?

Irony of you asking me "can you read the English language?".

I said good take.

I didn't bother to scroll back up to read your post again obviously, point is they're effectively the same thing. Jesus christ I knew anyone who was pro-lockdown was stupid but i didn't realise they were THIS stupid.

I'm stupid because you misquoted me after asking me if I could read english?

Ok, where did you get your education, I might consider it.

and this here children, is the definition of delusion.

Fair enough.

I don't quite know why you make reference to the Republican party and overseas politics though. The Republicans have spent 100 years removing people's rights so they can retain power.

And your mention of the UK? They have a Royal Family FFS!!

By your standards we would have no police and people would be free to roam around to do whatever they want. There would be no civility in society, just anarchy. Enjoy living in that world, you'll be begging on your hands and knees wishing for the police to save you. You've been called out and now you're having a sook for it.

You don't even know what an aneurism is but you sure as hell know what dumb is since you're posts are prime examples of it. You'll be called out for your posts, even if you have a sook about it.
