New Zealand police declared Friday they will not forcibly remove anti-mandate protesters from the national Parliament’s grounds in the capital.

Wellington’s police had initially tried to break the protest by arresting 120 individuals last Thursday, in a move that backfired when footage emerged and subsequently went viral on social media of offcers dragging a naked woman by her hair.

Finally, an administrative individual who actually grasps his
duty.

Folks, very few of us want our system of government destroyed.

We want it to remain faithful to the Constitution.

These peaceful but inconvenient forms of protest are all the
people have in times of dire situations.

Canada could do well to pay attention to this person.

Trugeux needs to step down. He’s lost the people of Canada.

“Trugeux needs to step down. He’s lost the people of Canada.”

Biden needs to step down. He’s lost the people of America.

This is also true.

I agree.

The Democrats are suddenly going to discover he’s unfit for
office shortly.

They may have him get rid of Harris first. They should.

I don’t think Joe will be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue past
May/June.

We’ll see. I may be wrong.

No, we have much more than that. And the weenie deep state has much less. But I agree that this is the proper response at this time.

I agree with that, short of actual violence and damage.

Do the New Zealand people still have gun rights?

More tightly controlled than here but interestingly enough suppressors are an over the counter.
