The whole of Australia is laughing at Journalist shot with Rubber Bullet

You get what you deserve.

That’s for Melbourne.

For context, just the other day Channel 9 journalist Lauren Tomasi was in Los Angeles reporting on the attempted Colour Revolution by Communist terrorists and Mexican nationalists, when she got shot by a riot police officer with a rubber bullet.

Millions of Australians see the irony in this, particularly as Tomasi had previously virtue signalled her approval of the suppression of dissidents during Covid Tyranny.

Caldron Pool has produced an excellent report on the Regime’s hypocrisy regarding the incident:

The Australian media and political class are in full-blown outrage after 9News journalist Lauren Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet while covering immigration protests in downtown Los Angeles.

On Sunday, June 8, Tomasi was reporting live amid the escalating unrest when an officer, captured on camera, raised a firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range, striking her in the leg. Tomasi, not wearing protective gear, cried out and clutched her leg as the live shot abruptly cut away…

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wasted no time condemning the incident in his first National Press Club appearance since winning re-election last month.

“We have already raised these issues with the US administration. We don’t find it acceptable that it occurred, and we think that the role of the media is particularly important,” Albanese said…

Labelling the attack “horrific,” the prime minister insisted Tomasi had been deliberately targeted: “She was clearly identified. There was no ambiguity. She wasn’t wearing a trackie. She was wearing … something that identified her as media,” he said.

“It is not acceptable,” he said. “I respect the role that the media play, and people should respect the role that the media play in our modern society.”

Albanese has been torn to shreds over this gaff, as Tomasi was clearly not wearing a helmet nor any media branding.

Back to Caldron Pool:

The media is also outraged. Karl Stefanovic from Channel 9 demanded an immediate investigation, asking, “How is it OK for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?”

But while the media and political class in Australia erupt over the treatment of one of their own on foreign soil, Australians have been quick to point out a curious irony: this is the exact same kind of force Victorian police used against Australian citizens in 2021, during the height of Melbourne’s brutal COVID-19 lockdowns — with barely a whisper of protest from those now up in arms.

Here’s Karl Stefanovic’s report of the 2021 incident:

At the time, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton admitted to using “pepper balls, foam baton rounds, smoke bombs and stinger grenades which deploy rubber pellets” against lockdown protesters.

Here’s a reminder of what took place (language warning):

Melbourne, often dubbed the world’s most locked-down city, endured six separate lockdowns totalling 262 days between March 2020 and October 2021. And when citizens took to the streets to protest what many considered authoritarian government overreach, they were met with the same crowd-control tactics that the Australian elite are now decrying in Los Angeles.

Comments sections all over the internet demonstrate that the sentiments expressed in the Caldron Pool report reflect those held by the average White Australian.

Here are some from Twitter:

Facebook:

Even on 9News’ own Normiebook page, responding to a report that Penny Wong had complained about it, the comments section is merciless:

Respect for the Regime Media and its journalists is at rock bottom, with the industry barely able to maintain operations courtesy of mass censorship. In Australia, days after far left “news” program The Project was scrapped by Channel 10, the ABC has canned its deeply unpopular QandA program.

In America, this distrust of the Lying Press will be crucial to crushing the attempted Colour Revolution currently underway. The standard playbook is for globalist NGO’s to sponsor violent protests across a nation.

The Globalist Media then runs cover, framing said riots as peaceful protests. If the anti-globalist government fails to quell the insurrection, the subsequent globalist coup is then framed as a victory for democracy.

This is why, although it may appear mean to the uninitiated, the bullying of Tomasi is so important. It demonstrates that ordinary people see right through the globalist framing of the Los Angeles Insurrection. Donald Trump was elected in a landslide last November and despite missteps he is still deeply popular amongst ordinary Americans who want mass deportations and an end to Mass Replacement Immigration.

Attempts by elected Californian officials and the Establishment Media to frame the Los Angeles Insurrection as peaceful protests on the side of democracy is nothing short of an attempt anti-democratic coup against an elected President. Trump’s efforts to quell the insurrection before it escalates to civil war is broadly supported by ordinary Americans and White people across the West, no matter how the Globalist Media will try to frame it.
