Australia: Anti-lockdown Protests Result in Hundreds of Arrests

Australia has lost its mind over the WuFlu, or at least its government has. Frankly, it’s rather alarming what the Aussies have tolerated for well over a year with little result.  In fact, the failure of their draconian rules prompted them to end their insane, anti-science “COVID zero” policy.

Here at LI, we’ve been covering the tyrannical crazy Down Under.

Is it any wonder, then, that Australians have lost their confidence in government and their patience with the endless lockdowns and mandates.  Imagine “authorities” reacting to a single case of WuFlu by telling Americans they can leave their homes for only one hour a day for exercise, alone or with one person from their own household, masked,  and told not to talk to their neighbors.  We aren’t (yet) so far gone that significant numbers (and not just in red states) would protest, refuse to comply, and pretty much ignore the crazy.

On Saturday, a nationwide protest hit Australia, and the results were both alarming and heartening.

The Hill reports:

Australian police on Saturday detained hundreds of people following anti-lockdown protests across the country, with massive clashes between authorities and demonstrators injuring several officers. Of the roughly 700 people who gathered in the city of Melbourne in opposition to continued coronavirus restrictions, at least 235 people were arrested, with an additional 32 people brought into custody in Sydney, according to Reuters. Video footage shared on social media showed demonstrators at a “Rally for Freedom” in Melbourne breaking through a police line before officers began deploying pepper spray to try to push back protesters.

Fed-up Aussies broke through a police line and rushed forward, outraged by the useless, economy- and soul-destroying lockdowns.
