Ah yes, the true sign of a dictatorship is letting a bunch of yahoos shut down your nation's capital for more than a week while the cops sit around with their thumbs up their arses.
It is frustrating to see the police treat these covidiots with such kid gloves. (Especially when they have been a lot more forceful when dealing with other protestors.) Between all of the crimes on parliament hill, and them "taking over" the parking lot of the local baseball stadium...
On the other hand, I did hear a commentator make an interesting point... maybe its a good thing the police have stood back. By allowing the covidiots to demonstrate their "respect for the law", it hurts their reputation. On the other hand, if they
**** down right at the beginning, it might have caused at least some people to be more sympathetic to them. But the longer it goes on, the more images we see of confederate flags on parliament hill, the more stories we hear of assaults, etc. the less people will be sympathetic.
I just hope the police
eventually decide to follow up, with arrests and fines aplenty AFTER the protests are over.
