Regardless of which side of the fence one stands on, that kind behaviour is absolutely repulsive. I hope charges will be laid.

What do you mean make an example out of them? What law did they break? Didn't they just bring a mic out to a public place and speak? No example to be made if they didn't break the law. Distasteful, yes. But protest usually comes with disruption.‘Bob’ wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 11:31 pm Im all for freedom of speech, but this was not the time or place.
