The police cannot go ripping peoples clothing off in public for no other reason than they deem it inappropriate.
Which part of 'Tents' aren't items of clothing do you miss? She was wearing underwear, which is more than lots of people claim to wear going to the beach or to some 'parties'... It is way overly hyped up and she was fair warned... 3 of the 4 protestors left there tents in peace she decided to be a little mongrel about it and got EXACTLY what they SAID would happen to her, they cut her tent and took it from her and left her there. Nothing more.
The fact we are becoming a nation of whingers is completely worrying, if something is wrong or looks down we automatically blame someone else WHY? because it's EASY to blame someone else for our own short comings. If something is happening that you feel passionate about then yes you have the right to protest - IE the new Dam in Brazil THAT is something to complain about. A generic socialism concept is ridiculous especially when told
'this area you can't do this' then they go and do it? a peaceful protest is setup and has police escorts etc etc...
Why I think we are turning into a soft nation?
1. We stripped basically all powers of police, yet we feel OK to whinge when nothing gets done when something happens to us because they are no longer with in there right to pursue the issue any further.
2. We stripped teachers of essentially all there rights when disciplining children, guess what YOU LEARN WHEN GROWING UP its why we have so many idiot children with no concept of right or wrong anymore.
3. We are even trying to strip parents from having the rights to SMACK there children... 1 gen ago we had the wooden spoon, belts, 2 gen ago we had the cane and dunce hats, 3 gen ago stockades!
Equality is the only thing so far that has made sense to me and that was good.
Mind you, I work for a government that I can't stand and am of the opinion that a person needs to learn the fact that a JOB is a Privilege NOT a right and if they don't do there job properly deserves to get fired....
Bring on the flames, but people will whine and complain and blame everyone but themselves especially when it suits them or to make them selves feel more self important.. All anyone wants in life is to be heard or to be acknowledged.
p.s - Anyone who thinks Freedom is Free is wrong, Freedom comes with a price and I would rather pay that price of living in a (free) country than living in some places in this world at the moment and I am well aware of other people/countries terrifying situations...
