"Trespassing" on Australian Civil Liberties

So I will fling around accusations of anti-Semitism at you, and if that is not enough, the cops can kick your asses, cart you off to jail and haul you before the courts on trumped up charges they pulled out of their own asses in order to make you shut the fuck up.

Glad to see that these protesters in Australia, after having to deal with brain dead riot squad police goons, did not also have to deal with a "kangaroo" court too. Democracy might be under attack, but at least it's not dead (yet).
