When some prick is coming through your window with a knife or worse who are the poor buggers in the house supposed to call? a community policing group? yeah right. I couldn't imagine being a cop in the US with their gun laws. Without justifying the bad eggs in US police, your every day copper would be going into situations with the full knowledge that the person or persons they're going to come into contact with could legally be carrying a firearm....stuff that.

Spot on BC, never heard of so much madness in my life.

This whole thing has gone nuts, lets face it, its more about the politics than the issue.

I reckon Trump is picking votes up base on the lefty stuff alone.

UK is out of control - same deal its all anti Conservative nutcases.

Just for something new I wholeheartedly agree, The trouble is that the politicians, do gooders on both sides will not tell the truth.

I agree as well.

They seem to be seeking attention to the inherent racism and prejudice in Australia, which has been well documented over the past 100 years (at least).

Yeah its not like we don't get ear bashed on this all Australia Day, then there's Sorry Day, then there's reconciliation week , there's definitely a lack of opportunity to seek attention.

was the first one set up by Sir Robert Peel? Either way, he was a good PM.

Maybe there should have been the 14 day quarantine rule for anyone who attends protests. Wonder how many would have showed...

Why don't they just bring the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras forward to this Saturday and kill two birds with one stone?

They are one and the same, they will all be there. Animal rights activists as well. There will be more hairy armpits on women than men on Saturday, including those who call themselves Non Binary or It or That.

I think you are way off the mark STT. No one is questioning the right to protest and the reasons behind it. It's about mass gatherings during this unusual time people are questioning. Maybe you better give the keyboard and yourself a rest.

Sure thing KK.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean but if you are accusing me of being racist then you have lost your marbles.
