We told the police about it but they didn't seem to take it seriously. They said unless one of us was actually assaulted there is nothing they can do. They also said it was our neighbours' right to show their disagreement with it otherwise. But by doing that they've stopped our freedom of expression. It is entirely unfair.
No one is going to respect the rights of someone unable to defend himself you know.
Undoubtedly, it's "unfair," but isn't blocking your driveway some kind of violation of your rights? Isn't Egg throwing "assault"?
Threats of physical violence speak for iself, don't they?
And are your police serious when they state premeditated threats must first be exacted before acting? Does that include "murder"?
Are the police complicit?
As I recall in a vote the Oxford Union declared in the nineteen twenties that in case war came to Britain they would not fight. This attitude emboldened the dictators to denegrate the British willingness to fight. We had our own Oxford Union here in the USA during the Vietnam War, and people like John Kerry and Jane Fonda were our nemeses. It is obvious that democracy is a near thing, and that half the people would accept fascism/Marxism in an eyeblink if it somehow led to more personal income and greater liesure time. Thus, neither you nor I can ever rest easy; the enemy is always at the gate.
