Our national disgrace(s)
It’s damn disheartening to read about this sort of thuggery
, but that is nothing, I imagine, to being subject to it. Are we going to continue hearing about this every January 26th? When did this kind of vigourous racism/xenophobia become acceptable? And that’s exactly what it is — racism. To suggest otherwise is to be cowardly and wilfully ignorant.
The method of victimisation is terrifying to think about. These louts attack in groups. How are you supposed to respond to frenzied violence and hatred? Patriotic Australians everywhere must fully repudiate the behaviour of these clowns. It would be ineffective for responses to this behaviour to come merely from the targets. The rioters must see that their behaviour is utterly rejected by leaders who they identify as “like them”; White, Anglo-Australians, like our Prime Minister.
The potential for the Australian Flag to be a unifying symbol is almost limitless, but it has been co-opted as of late, disgracefully strewn as an object of hate. It’s time to take it back, and take our country back.RoboCop move Entrapment download

Were these incidents reported in a more respectable publication?
