American resistance is different. In some places, the lockdowns were enforced almost as harshly as Australia. Where I live, after those first few weeks, Covid has pretty much been ignored. Yeah, some people, mainly old people and those of a certain ethnic persuasion, still mask up, but most others go about daily life. Early on, here and lots of other places around the country, sheriffs and police departments told governments to “make whatever rules you want, we won’t enforce them” and that was pretty much that. So there was never a need for mass riots and protests.
But then again, it depends on where you live in this great big country. We need to Balkanize NOW.

I remember someone firing on the Zulus and it not working out for them. WTF are you talking about?????
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Australian are sheep letting the government disarm them They've got arms and ammo stashed away, I'd say it's time to break them out and hand in their ammo one bullet at a time. only way to do it

[quote=12344mag]Protesters need to fight fire with fire. except they voted to take their guns away[/quote so you are saying they have no guns.....even though the it has been stated a scihtt load of times that is false.....why spread a lie....bob Maybe you need to look into Australia's gun laws. Definite restrictions.

You seem to be forgetting NYC and DC...not to mention California. You don't get it all your own way so stop pretending that you do...or are you going to raise a mob and set it all right again. I note that there seems to be an awful lot of "do as I say, not as I do" with you lot.

When the cops start opening up on the public, its not long before the public will start opening up on the cops...

As a cop I am dismayed at the using of rubber bullets and pepper spray on what appears to be totally peaceful protesters with a legitimate grievance.
Especially compared to the American [bleep]-show of the last year or two with BLM and Antifa et al.
I am impressed with the Australian people for being the lead element in the pushback for this Government overreach and obsessive control.
I hope they are organized, because the Commies sure are.

added...coppers are not there to do the job of maintaining law, they are there to do the governments bidding. And any that think different is a fool.
Ahhh. Seems to be a recurring theme. So what’s the plan? Do we climb on board the De-Fund the police wagon, or do we climb on board the Un-De-Fund the Police wagon. The way things are unfolding it almost appears to be a lose-lose situation.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

You see...now THAT is the truth of the matter. And I honestly do not know the remedy.

Also take note how close a relationship Biden has with Australia! Almost as if he is watching and taking the same steps they have.

I am suspecting that this virus was a hands-off warning, and that the next one that is MERS related is already in the bottle which is why the panic over the jab. Australia has been rabidly anti-nuclear all the way but all of a sudden Australia is getting US designed nuclear subs and some serious upgrades to weaponry plus new US bases? Both the US and Australia are s hit scared of what China is up to.

Make the police independent of the politics. Have strict safeguards and overwatch but make them honest and loyal to the principles of the Nation.

Pretty sure we would be exchanging one petty despot for another...it would start with rainbows and the scent of flowers but wouldn't take long before we are wading through s hit again. Bit like the fbi debacle...and God knows I wouldn't trust a Vic copper with my lunch money.

China didn’t give the Biden family 1.5 Billion dollars and help steal the election for him for no reason. China Joe is not just a humorous nickname, it is a fact.

Wish all of you Aussies Godspeed in getting this debacle resolved without major bloodshed! As stated prior, I fear it's not long from our shores here.
