You get what you give. Karma is a wonderful thing

No one has caught corona virus outside in the fresh air! Let's get that straight! The Gov has been using the media for it's fear campaign to legitimize their COVID 19 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM = POLICE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST THE AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN. Where's proof you need a mask outside? 0

No shortage of thugs over there is there....

Hose them down. Hospitals can't handle major Covid surges...or just leave the willfully unvaxxed on gurneys in the halls or, like Mexico, send them home with a box of anticoagulants and lots of Panadol. There will be no oxygen given because the hospitals will be in short supply.

Hundreds of rioters in a city of 5 million people. This is a tiny minority. ThankYouVicPolice for putting your bodies on the line against these thugs. 9News call out the rioters for what they are: rioters.

As soon as they bring violence into it, it is no longer a protest. It is just a group of violent cowardly thugs hiding behind an agenda. Absolute cock wombles.Spray them all with dye so their family, friends, work colleagues, neighbours, all know what they have been up to.

Restrict voting rights for antivaxxers They can't be trusted to vote rationally

When you keep pushing someone sooner or later they will push back. What we have here are people that have already been pushed too far and now they are not affraid now to push back. The majority of the world is watching and support the people fighting for their freedom.

They don’t represent the 5 million Melburnians.

“Hundreds” 😂

And they will come for you 😂🤣😂😂

They won’t be happy when they are rightfully persecuted in a month or so.

Get smart

Well done

Looks like the VicPol are spraying them with fake snow, the capsicum spray certainly doesnt seem to be working. Maybe we could ask Hong Kong to borrow a few of those fire hose trucks to wash some sense into them

What the police should do is just not attend. Let the protestors walk through.

Yet again we see pictures of Danolfs blue army ordered to blockade the rally in an obvious display of Gestapo confrontational violence causing tactics 🤬 it is 100% legal to protest peacefully during a lockdown pandemic when your right to work/provide/speak has been removed.

I feel for them as they are nearly all poorly or minimally educated who have no understanding of biology or basic human science. It’s difficult to help them. But what is most frustrating is when they end up in hospital severely ill and gasping for air, we have to help them!

Brad hazard said just last week outdoors is safe when referring to a packed Bondi beach. It’s laughable. The science doesn’t change

Good on them. An op-ed in this weekend’s Australian said it all. Time to get our country back.

Australia is the only country in the world that is doing lockdowns lol I don't blame any of them

Why shouldn’t they protest? It’s their basic right and it should never have been taken away.

WANKERS, didn't they see how this turned out for tik tok guy and his dad 😫

Hundreds of self entitled selfish people have gathered to extend lockdown and fill our ICU beds yet they are too stupid to realise. There fixed.

No mask 😷 SO what! NO ONE WEAR FACE MASK 😷 IN CHANNEL 9 ANYWAY!

😡

Idiots

Idiots.

They're outdoors, fresh open air.

It’s thousands not hundreds

Goal time for all of them. Not very smart people.

Hero's one and all, fighting against forced vaccination by the cooperation's. Thank you. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
