And this is why the first kid should have been condemned and had the book thrown at him. The next one might be a brick.

And what about the second kid, the female spitter, punched by the female cop?

Spot on.

Anyone surprised that it's the tree hugging leftard who are always the perpetrators of these attacks?

Abbott, Bolt, Anning and now Morrison... all attacked by the sniveling left representatives.

Well, not quite, but try again:

Meanwhile, the political affiliations of the sandwich thrower will remain a mystery:

There are idiots on all sides of politics.
My concern is that in this age of social media and GoFundMe there are rewards and few repercussions for this kind of behaviour.
The reward is that you gain notierity and bump up your Twitter followers (or YouTube subscribers) by thousands.
There is also the possibility of a payoff via GoFundMe. I think EggBoy got $47,000.
So any legal fees, fines you may incur will be covered.
So why wouldn't you do it?

Eggboy got free legal representation by the attention seeking ambulance chasers and donated the money to the Christchurch appeal.

But the gofund me stuff is why I think a custodial sentence should be in order, even 28 days in a minimum security prison, instead of a fine.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

ugh, that’s worse than a brick!



Someone asked about the spitter? That’s even worse, spreading unwelcome body fluids, disgusting, double sentence.

And Locke them out of social media, and yes that would actually ‘learn em”!

You can't lock people out of social media. All you need is an email address to sign up, they're easy to get using fake credentials.

Block their IP's? just change provider or get an unlocked phone with a prepaid sim and create a new account. That's just stuff that any numbat can do, without going into VPN's and other stuff.

I would love to front on hit Barnaby beetroota with a heap of rotten tomatoes - but I wouldn't do it.

Cause it's wrong and it's assault - and the bigger deterrent is the whack job might enjoy it! :P

Half your post is really intelligent, the other :roll:

But seriously, this is a very sad indictment on the way of the world today.

I don't care who you support, but there is no way in the world, citizens should be; egging, pieing or whatevering people going about their job that they were elected to do.

What's it going to take to enforce a much stricter protocol in regards to our politicians going about their business? (No doubt, an assassination or two)

I think it's an absolute disgrace and only highlights how sad the world is becoming. I honestly feel sorry for my grandkids and their kids.

I think this is a great indication of people’s political priorities: whether they’re more offended by mild public incivility (e.g. the occasional egg bouncing off a politician’s head) or the polite barbarism of politicians in suits. In the context of Fraser Anning’s vile press release blaming Muslims for their own deaths in New Zealand, the egging he copped was not just a comparatively minor transgression; in my view, it was a legitimate act of protest.

Before anyone accuses me of being an Antifa sympathiser, I do still draw the line at physical violence. The guy who headbutted Tony Abbott did the wrong thing and deserved his punishment. But, ultimately, I think we need some perspective, and recognise that what happened to ScoMo is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things.

I mostly endorse the sentiments of this cartoon:
