"Freedom" marches/rallies

Happening in a number of locations across the globe - this bunch in Canada are flying Trump flags ffs - its R/W extremist bullshit - for me the easiest way to stop it is to block them in - they will run out of patience and diesel eventually then just keep them there and impound their trucks, their way of making a living, as they slope off tail between their legs. The selfishness of their actions is clear and I am sure that the population at large will support the authorities.

History repeats itself over and over again.

Protests hijacked by the far right. Very little mention of this in the TV media.

Trump flags aside, where you see on what side of the political divide protestors sit, do we do what our government wants and start to ban protests we don’t like or agree with or do we accept them as part and parcel f the democracy we live in?

Good. Just ignore them. Give them no publicity.

If they are peaceful then people have every right. When they get violent, that’s not a protest, it’s a riot.

I’m expecting some of the latter soon.

That’s my stance on it as well, including over here.

Once the law is broken, the right to peaceful protest is given up imo.

Batons, rubber bullets and water cannons. No need for arrests, just pepper them until they go home ;-)

Better still kettle them - prevent them from going home.

Seems the support for the right to protest varies according to the perceived political alignment of the protesters. These are working class people protesting against government policies that restrict fundamental rights and the left is busy calling for them to be punished for it. Do you people have no principles left at all?
