If happened to read my short bio, you’ll know that I’m an army veteran. And as you would expect ANZAC Day holds a special place in my year as a very important day for the commemoration of the fallen, and the “one day” of the year I set aside to raise a glass with my old mates. Of course, the ridiculous COVID response needlessly disrupted our commemorations and gatherings. There is one point in this video that clearly highlights the absurdity of the COVID response in 2022 and its impost upon those wishing to conduct ANZAC day with the reverence it demands.
In the following video I have portrayed the most disturbing COVID response I had the misfortune of witnessing (albeit through Facebook live-feeds by the likes of, “The Real Rukshan”) Police conduct, particularly in Victoria, was just deplorable. In my opinion it was akin to the conduct of the Nazi SS towards the Jews during World War Two!
I doubt many people have actually seen much of this footage. Certainly, some of the conduct by the Victorian Police was never shown on mainstream TV (its that bad!) And I am sure you will disgusted by the violence (I would argue it was really terrorism) afflicted upon predominately peaceful protestors.
With particular reference to violence perpetrated on peaceful demonstrators at the Shine of Sacrifice by a militarized police firing rubber bullets at the crowd from which not a single person raised a finger against the ‘storm troopers’.
“Didn’t our soldiers go off to war to fight against tyranny and despotic governments that condone this kind of forceful to control people?”
