The terrifying zeal of these people who have such a tiny myopic viewpoint and such black & white cartoonish thinking, that we end up with this insane situation.
A peaceful person holding a sign in a public place is SOOOO threatening that they must be rounded up by a team holding a giant net, ready to bundle up the dissenter and... what? Disappear them? Silence them? F*cking kidnap and hurt them?
Where is their line? because it’s clearly way beyond where other decent people’s ethics kick in, or where the law should stop them.
Or maybe I’m hideously misjudging these ‘poor defensless victims’ (otherwise known as the healthy majority with a physical advantage, working as a group, using a dedicated implement, to hunt down and catch an older, lone, peaceful individual who hasn’t been aggressive in any way). Yup, that about covers it.
Perhaps they merely meant to illegally ‘detain’ the innocent law abiding person (sorry I mean terrifying dissenter) in hot conditions, panicked and dehydrated, by wrapping them in thick mesh, without training in restraints, holds or in the use of this mesh material over the body, head, face or airways.
Do they have any sense of how easy it is to kill someone being restrained in normal circumstances, let alone when you’ve got high temperatures, dehydration, an untrained group of vigilantes and this heavy black mesh wrapped around someone?!
(But it seems in this rising tide of insane group think, the idea of consequences for any of their behaviour seems to have left of the building, a long long time ago. I wish I could go back to believing this kind of thing is just a one of incident and unconnected to a whole, but I am waaaay past that, sadly! I’m still pro trans though, just not whatever this is, a subverted mission creep of the highest order).
