Awesome. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the activists that prevented about half the crowd from attending an ACL meeting in MEL yesterday. The activists then blocked those who had managed to get in from leaving.
Given that was a group of people (rather than a lone individual), and they've refused to apologise, and their actions are consistent with bullying from other rainbow activist groups in recent times, I'm wondering why there's been such little condemnation of them?

Not his choice to make. It's actually the call of the police as to whether someone gets charged though. Given his profile though that would no doubt carry some weight in the copper's minds as to how to proceed.
A lost opportunity to take the moral high ground, methinks.[/QUOTE]
