Hilarious bun fight on Twitter with the TRAs claiming the nazi boys were invited to the #letwomenspeak event. God they lie about everything.

Nazi loser boys turned up precisely because the antifa/TRAs said they were going to be there. They are both like football hooligans just turning up baiting each other, hoping for a fight - happens every other weekend.

You only have to watch the film and see which side the nazis saluted to figure out who they were there for. They saluted the TRAs and ignored the women. If they were on KJKs side they would have saluted her instead of baiting the TRAs.

Melbourne was always going to be the worst city in Australia for this type of event.

Isn't it basically Australia's Portland?

Oh for the days when it was a fairly conservative (as in, general lifestyle) city, as opposed to raffish Sydney.

Pretty much. Even the 'Race that Stops a Nation', The Melbourne Cup, can't go ahead without it being mobbed by protesters and having dozen of articles in the Melbourne press about how 'problematic it is'

melbourne cup is animal abuse, just look at the rates of horses killed. not only is it animal abuse but it glorifies gambling, a huge issue in australia. i was literally taught gambling (disguised as a maths lesson) in public school from a young age by literally watching the melbourne cup on television and participating with matchsticks or lollies (candies).

The problematic part of it is the amount of horses that die. I don't want to be rude to you, but it IS an animal rights issue, and it is horrific. When a horse falls, it is usually fatal. Thoroughbreds have thin and delicate legs, which break easily. If the leg is broken the horse is of no value any more.They erect a tent on the track around the horse, and kill it. Then remove it as quickly as possible, with an earth moving scoop,so the race-goers won't be upset or interrupted in their enjoyment (or betting). You can see all of this happening from the glassed side of the track inside the birdcage area. I saw this happen and I have refused all invitations, with a note about why I do so, for the last 20 years.

And in the longer version of that video, they say that the event had to end early because TRAs were attacking police horses to try to get to the women attending the rally. Disgusting.
