As I said earlier, it would be wrong to punish anyone merely for speaking out against something. But you don't have the right to deliberately endanger others with actions that contribute to the spread of a deadly pandemic.

One of y'all's amateur rioters set himself on fire while attacking people with a molotov cocktail in Portland last night. I don't know why he was so mad at somebody. Looks like just his legs were burned, but at least it will get him off the street. Has anyone here ever thrown a molotov cocktail?

Why the interest in Australia. They are successful capitalist country, not socialist. (Freedom liberty, etc) Y'all are all over the place.

Because Dan Andrews, Premiere of Victoria, is a left wing nut job our equivalent of your Dems. ? He has us in a virtual prison with a " promise " of lots more to come.
We might be Capitalist but not if Dan had his way and right now, in Victoria, proves how they act when they have power. VERY dangerous.

So, protecting the country from being overrun with a deadly virus is "VERY dangerous", because it hurts your feelings?

Maybe, if she’s pregnant, she shouldn’t be inciting breaking the law?

However, it does seem rather over the top.

You have got to be joking, so much pain, so many deaths and so much abuse and so much depression, so many businesses destroyed, so many suicides, etc etc etc and that is NOT from the virus, and the pain has not even started yet, wait until our false economy is over. I am in the so called "at risk" category and I want him to stop protecting me. I can do it by myself, thank you very much. I do not want this nut job killing me slowly with his madness. Tell the nut job to P-ss off.
Personal responsibility is dead in this day and age when everyone's problem is someone elses fault. If I get the virus, it will be because I have done something wrong and I will not blame anyone else.
Living in fear, and blaming everyone else, is the Dems way, not mine.


They should have protested in Portland or Seattle.

That way, they could steel a TV at Walmart's while they are at it, and be hailed a hero.

And never any arrests :-)

Were they arrested for protesting a lock-down or for not abiding by it? Because there's a big difference between the two.
but you are ok with blm rioting during curfews

Yes; except pandemics are a rare and exceptional circumstance that can't be compared to any other instances. She should still have the right to protest and does; she can protest online, or can even protest outside, since merely being outside isn't a violation during most lock-downs. But inciting the public to disregard lock-downs is health hazard.

Now if she wants to organize a protest that follows social distancing measures and wearing masks, that should be allowed. If she wants to protest that way, more power to her. But she doesn't have the right to endanger the lives of others.

I object to your notion that legitimately protesting lockdown contributes to the spread of the pandemic. I also object to your use of “deadly”

The opinions of scientists and far more respected organizations like the WHO disagree.

the pregnant Aussie lady was calling for a protest add asking for the exact same guidelines that was on the BLM sites recommendations, The ONLY difference was the cause.
Because Dictator Dan said one was ok and the other was not. Simple.
At the moment climate activist are planning protests on the 25th and not a Damn thing is being done by Dictator Dan.
This lady was planning only, just the same as the clowns on the 25th, Same, same bur different, just ask Dan. Total Idiot.
Not one BLM protestor was fined, not one, they were even told beforehand that they would not be fined and the circumstances were as close to the same as possible. Both stage 3 lockdown, both same health advise, again same same but different.
Interesting to see what happens 25th Sept as no-one has been even asked to stop organizing yet alone threatened, yet alone had the gestapo on their doorstep.
