Letters to the Editor May Day Debacle
Dear Sir, The disgraceful belligerent and violent behaviour of those cuckoos who continue to suck on the public teat ,and then mutilated the body which provides this teat , as displayed by these vandals in the Sydney May Day protest , has no place in our society. The deliberate attacks an our police by these delinquents can no longer be tolerated , our police should now be trained and permitted to use all tools available to law enforcement services , including Tear Gas , Defensive Use of Baton and Shield , and Plastic Bullets . The protection of the people being the only criteria during these sieges carried out by violent criminals posing as concerned citizens participating in at best, civilised protest and at worst justified civil disobedience. As one who has participated in a myriad of forms of protest and civil disobedience in various countries and continents,involveing issues from Ulster to Uganda I find my self choking on my words , when I hear my own call for the harshest application of Law and Order,to be visited on these rabid rats , and a temporary suspension of our democracy to acheive the common good. If we refuse to apply self discipline and regulation in our manner of protest, then those with more extreme agendas, than have already been revealed, will gain control through a campaign of fear. So! These ferals must be stopped, and that is why we must empower our Police Force. Zealously one can even comment , that even Comrade Costa , once a leftie from way back , has also condemned this anarchy , our Police should be given a free reign with these termites of our society . Was it that old Glebe Boy , Premier Askin , who said ? "Run over the Bastards" Tom Collins
