None of the eyewitness accounts posted give any indication it was violent, especially not the actual video of the protest which clearly shows them just attempting to block marchers with a banner and resisting removal.

I do appreciate the attempt to slam me based on a perceived narrowness of my "political ideology". Please continue to post daily updates about how trannies are oppressing the gays.

It's not so much 'I don't have an opinion because I'm those things', it's 'I don't have an opinion because I wouldn't know what the gently caress I'm talking about'. Most of what I know about trans issues and activist in-fighting come from the forums/tumblr mock threads and what I saw in student politics.

I can't see anything I can say being remotely on point except that it sucks people got hurt?

I really hate the "i'm sorry, but..." speech cliche. It's such a weak thing to say, if you have a strong view why would you be apologizing for it in advance. It's especially inappropriate in this context.

I don't see anything unreasonable about this view and I'm slightly nonplussed at why other people in this thread disagree.

Other than the reasons already posted (concern trolling, it wasn't violent, etc), its mostly because dusty forms his opinions as a knee jerk rather than actually thinking things through. He'd rather hate on "SJW"s than think about issues that people might be protesting.

The protest was against the police and DOC officers, the protestors jumped the barrier and unfurled a banner in front of the police marching in the parade because of the continued mistreatment of queer people in prisons and by police. Particularly the fact that trans women are still put in male prisons.

Seems to me like police and DOC officers being invited to march in a parade that celebrates the rights of queer people is a good place for a protest on these issues. Dusty disagrees because he's afraid of SJWs and has issues with women.

Neither of these issues sound like things the Police, as terrible as they are, have anything to do with?

The Police don't run the prisons and the Police don't sentence people or write the laws/rules surrounding that?

I love a good protest, regardless of if I agree. Especially one executed with reckless passion. I do happen to agree with this protest, not so much the pinkwashing protest - but the only losers are a bank and banks don't have feelings and the invade our collective environment with propaganda so gently caress em.

The police contingent included the Department of Corrections who are directly responsible for the prisons.

Besides that

Protester Tim Lamusse said the group wanted to highlight that the queer, Maori and Pasifika communities were disproportionately harassed and targeted by police.

DOC places prisoners in coordination with the police. Also the police are required by law now to notify the custodial systems manager (at DOC) if they have any concerns about a prisoner's gender and the prison they're being sent to. Still plenty of trans people in the wrong prisons.

quote:

And later, when I read about the young person whose arm was broken by a security guard for daring to protest against the oxymoronic travesty of soldiers, police officers and jailers celebrating unconventional sexualities, I offered up a silent prayer to the gods and monsters of perversity and resistance: the ones who embolden rebels and keep the authorities off-balance. Among that gawking and guffawing crowd, they’d reassured me, there was at least one human-being who still knew how to say: “No!”

Nah, it was just a rather lovely attempt at a protest. There are a million ways to protest, but fighting security at a pride event then claiming victimhood when injured in the struggle is pretty lame.
The social media freakout has been hilarious though - people piling those who gave eye witness accounts cause they're only gay and white and therefore the enemy.

Scribe is technically not a band.

It's also criminal how hard it is to find high quality True Bliss videos considering how loving everywhere they were at the time. I'm convinced there's a TVNZ conspiracy to bury that era.
