The true colour of pseudo-environmental nastiness in Northern NSW

Here we go again; a well intended consultation meeting in Lismore was hijacked and turned into a violent public stoning session. The shouting, spitting and abusive behaviours were not needed in an occasion like this, or anywhere civilised. Rude, abusive, disruptive screaming and self-victimising overpowered the good intentions of Government representatives. So what has Lock the Gate’s mob mentality achieved at the end? It did not appear that seeking facts and truth were on their agenda.

Did they get the facts, or did they once again forcibly shoving their emotive bile down those who could be making a positive contribution? Sadly it was an opportunity lost for those sensible enough to not be part of this ugly demonstration event! Pity that children were once again been used as pawns in the demonstration.

Would anyone dare to speak against these people in Lismore given now that they have seen it personally with their own eyes? An orchestrated violent demonstration aimed to cause fear and chaos, they weren’t there for anyone else but rather to reinforce much the misinformation and fear campaign that have spread by Lock the Gate and associate groups over the last two years.

Non-violent direct action A.K.A. peaceful protesting was given a new definition by the mob in Lismore. No doubt these mad mob minorities would be proud of it.
