entitlement v. community service...

An unbelievable scenario...where protesters claiming their own hypothetical, blinkered version of entitled safety intimidate those attempting to ensure real-life safety of communities. Self-indulgence v. community service bush-fire warnings...

non-event...

PASSING THOUGHT: Great to see that a certain event in Melbourne today is not trending...
Even the media seem unusually quiet about it...
That's the answer...
No audience...
Unsold tickets...
No performance...
Curtains close...
Lights out...
Go home...

vaccination not violence...

@robynbryant33
'I think #VaccinationNotViolence will trend today.'
Dan Andrews' snap presser@8:15am=so calming. That's a leader.
Many protesters acted 'under the guise of a demo'+'leaderless'.
'The behaviour of a few should not cast dispersions on an entire industry'.

tradies NOT in yesterday's protest...

So sad that voices in this thread will probably get little media airplay...
These are tradies who were not part of the protest yesterday in Melbourne...
There are many...
But somehow 'My lunchroom is a shaded spot and my Esky as a seat.' doesn't have sensational shock appeal... https://t.co/4u6Hi4Jj6r

can't sleep...

PASSING THOUGHT: Can't sleep...I feel sorry for the many Victorians watching their state being publicly fractured by the mob mania of a few. I feel sorry for the many Melburnians publicly represented as lacking integrity+resilience by the riotous few. I feel sorry for our Dan... pic.twitter.com/uijs5UU5Q7

wind-whipped waves of psychotic screams...

PASSING THOUGHT: Today, keeping wind-whipped waves of psychotic 'screams' from eroding my 'beach' is a skill I never thought I would need to develop...
But I am working on it...
I must keep working on it... pic.twitter.com/ovWxgyFR9f

"Protesters marched to the top of the West Gate Bridge this afternoon, where they started a singalong to Daryl Braithwaite’s “Horses”. This doesn’t sound like typical behaviour for unionists; more like that of a group of idiots on ivermectin." https://t.co/NjN4FsebBZ

It makes we want to educate people on who writes fricking songs! Rickie Lee Jones wrote The Horses for her daughter. This is not Daryls song.

The West Gate Bridge was the scene of a catastrophic workplace tragedy. No union member would hold a celebration there, it is dancing on the graves of the dead.

My friend was on the Westgate today, returning from visiting her dying mother. Had possibly just seen her mum for the last time.
She was stuck on the bridge because of protesters.
A woman alone. Petrified
Especially when she saw them drag a man out of his car.

Mad Hatter's Tea Party...

Somehow this 'gathering of the boys' (any girls?) reminds me of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party'. A Dormouse was sitting between the Hatter+the March Hare, fast asleep,+the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it,+talking over its head - a misguided agenda.

Melbourne protest...

#Melbourneprotest After seeing a number of videos of the Melbourne protest, it seems so many were there just for the 'thrill', the adrenalin rush of being in a protest...In fact, going by the signs, the protest involved various arguments...

#Melbourneprotest These insane times are really bringing out insane people...But also bringing out the very kindest people too...The Sikhs are in a class of their own, as is Melbourne's Father Bob...
