Wait, what?
So the biological male who was in charge of / involved with policing the event was also part of the counter protest i.e. the people threatening and committing violence against women (including fracturing a 70 year old woman's skull)?
If this is true, then it's levels of anti-woman action I'd expect from police in Afghanistan or Iran but not NZ. Well, not before now.
She's absolutely right not to go back. She could be killed. It was honestly quite obvious from the event that the policing was completely inadequate. Now we see that was probably deliberate. They didn't care if women got hurt.
Compare and contrast the policing at Belfast LWS. Honestly someone should do a video edit of the policing there and the policing in NZ to fully show the shame and misogyny of New Zealand. It's not bloody rocket science. They're deliberately doing things that are likely to result in harm to women.
I hope the woman whose skull was fractured sues.
