Watch for the black choppers and APCs coming around the corner. “You will be identified and found out and fined or imprisoned!”

RuhRoh! In the pic at the link the most stand out part is the red TRUMP cap in the center of the pic. So, we know who to blame for this aussie insurrection now.

Yes and No.

The 15,000 plus Victoria Police force versus two million citizens would put a crimp in their aggressive style.

15,000 versus two thousand they could deal with them.
