So protestors have been trespassed. Do we still have a red squad? 

SJB:

 

While covid is around why should they ever end?

 

Covid will evolve to being just like the annual flu. There are no mandates for flu vaccines why would there be a need for on going Covid vaccine mandates?

The question is what do they offer, given were 90% vaxed and everyone can catch/transmit at varying levels what do they offer and is it worth the issues. Certainly some services like health should be kept inline but should private companies? should teachers? They offered us something for a while but it's getting a bit hard to justify keeping them in place in such a widespread manner, more so for passports

Fingers crossed it does and doesn't recombine to go out with a bang

I did see that a lot of the protestors simply went home last night. While there were "thousands" there yesterday it's thinned out to only a few hundred today.

Yeah, today there, I thought Covid was over when a headline said "Lastest Locations of Interest"

3 protestors arrested now for breaching the police line.

Fractures in the "mighty convoy" already? But they had such great planning! 😄

Doing this kind of crap is really not going to "win" or convert people over to your side...

Can somebody explain to me why these people seem so angry absolutely all the time.

Being permanently angry is not a recipe for a happy life.

Because their freedoms!!! /s

Rightly or wrongly a large group of people either went into this pandemic having issues with government or have been impacted by the pandemic and the govt/PM with are natural targets for this rage, rage that's reinforced in an echo chamber crawling with grifters and agitators  

But I get the impression that if somehow they managed to remove JA they have no idea who the replacement would be.

They seem to be angry with society in general. I don't see how they can ever achieve any peace of mind.

Evangelicals and Pentecostals
They will only see peace of mind when the rapture arrives.
The thought of spending all that time decomposing in the ground is just terrifying.
So maybe accelerating the process of destruction of society and the rapture is their hope ? 

Still trying to figure out what they will do with their guns, Harleys, utes and in heaven ?
