Here we go again: the right openly encouraging violence Roll Eyes

Wanker - & who have been wielding the machetes in Melbourne like it's a revolution in Sudan?

What side do they lean toward?

Never mind the bins that cost taxpayers $13 million dollars are not fit for purpose.

1. machetes can't fit through the opening

2. the back of the bins are all fitted with allen/hex key screws which can be opened by any one with a set of keys.

You, they, them, the left are all appallingly stupid softcocks without an intelligent notion between them.

Aah you got that in one Gnads.
The softly softly approach towards all them is for the votes to keep crooked labor in power.
It’s like this… they get rewarded by postcode they live in and vote from.
The south eastern are majority lib voters.
Hence when labor came into power, they punished lib voting south easterners….by tearing up the contract for eastlink bypass over Melbourne.
It’s desperately needed and was on the books long before this new BIG build by that wanna be Jacinta.
And these new big builds are in dodgy higher crime areas of our greater Melbourne.
Whenever we have to drive anywhere past there, I wished we had a armoured scout car!
Oh but aren’t they so privileged getting highways and byways and overpasses… never in my 71 years a Melbournite had I seen anything like this. It’s almost as if we have a bottomless pit of money.
Softly softly sucking up to them on those on the bad side of the tracks to keep their votes. That’s what it’s really all about. Never mind people that worked hard paying tax or fruit/vege growers feeding the state from our side of the tracks.
Never mind about the safety of people when swingers with machetes come into play.
We were all disarmed once with our guns, now I’m keeping my kitchen knives sharpened and my favourite fire tool within reach.
BTW. Was watching Dexter recently and someone grabbed a fire tool as a weapon… it’s the same fave one I have in my sight. FYI they are available for about $16 in Bunnings.

That slimeball wouldn’t give anyone the opportunity to be confronting as those that are liable of any sneaky wrongdoings are often most protected or unreachable.

How’s it working out those bins?
Really scary? Do they create obedience and law and order yet?
Is the problem solved yet?

How can I or my family protect themselves?
I was watching a YouTube about how to defend against vicious dog attacks.
It’s given me some ideas!
A spare doubled over leash with metal buckles. Like a whip.
And it’s not illegal!

Get a walking stick make sure it's a sturdy one.

Aim for wrist-Hand of criminal with machete when they hold it out towards you if you hit hard enough they will drop it might even break something.

Next hit could be with pointy end in lower ribs either side.

Good ideas! Will keep these in mind and the walking stick always comes in handy to hook a product off a top shelf I can’t reach!

Sophia,

I see that you are asking a few questions there.

But, imo, you are not asking the right questions.

e.g.
1/ How does the Victorian Premier protect herself [when she is in a 'public space'] from people near her, carrying and waving a Machete in a threatening manner ?
[.....and, the same Q, for other Victorian politicians and high ranking Public Servants ? ]

2/ How do Victorian police officers protect themselves, if they come across a person in a 'public space',
carrying and waving a Machete in a threatening manner ?

Sophia,

What are the answers......to those questions ?

I want YOU, to try to answer THOSE Q's, for yourself.

Sophia,

And questions, to you......

Is your life, or the life of a close family member.......
worth LESS, than the life of the Victorian Premier ?
OR,
is your life, or the life of a close family member.......
worth LESS, than the life of a Victorian police officer ?

Sophia,

I want YOU, to MEDITATE on the meaning of this word.....

WORTHLESS.

Yadda, the government is not for the people (us) they are for themselves.
Big fat pay packet, especially when they retire from politics, all the lerks and perks, looked after, for life.
I don’t feel trust towards any government, or even police to protect us mere citizens.

When I put forth questions it’s highlighting what isn’t working out.
We are only worth what can be taken out of our pocket$

Sophia,

What you are describing doesn't sound very much like true representative government [aka democracy].

Next, they'll ask you and yours, ....to go and fight in a war for them.

To protect our freedoms !

/sarc off

Sophia,

What should we do ?

Walking stick is around same length as a Hanbo which is a short 3ft stick.

Have a look on youtube for "Hanbo" with added words being staff and jutsu or even vs knife.

Don't look at any of the fancy single handed strikes you might not get enough power with them look at the strikes with 2 hands holding hanbo. With both hands holding it if they grab it you can twist their wrist so they let go then strike with pointy end.

Hanbo is probably the most versatile wooden weapon you can fight at longer range where they can't hit you use it to strike wrist if they punch or jam pointy end into shin/foot if they try to kick.
If you get into closer range it can be a lever to help with grappling

Hanbo is one of the few martial arts weapons that isn't a Prohibited weapon in NSW. Wink

Sophia,

What should we do ?

First…I’m against war of any kind….conscientious objector I am…went to protests in my youth in the 70s …Vietnam War moratorium via Dr. Jim Cairns.
I’ve protested all nighters on parliament steps with many Melbournians against our dictator Mad Dan wanting to mandate injections upon everyone.
I’ve walked and rallied to vote the majors out.
That’s all we can do…but mainly…vote these majors OUT! They’ve had too much power for too dam long!
Our votes are what we can do for change.

QUESTION;
In modern Western democracies today....why do those who 'lead' and govern us,
seem to be immune from any REAL accountability,
FOR FAILURE or personal INCOMPETENCE ??
