And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
lets have some lighter news

Four people were taken into police custody following a bizarre incident in the WA Wheatbelt town of York on Friday morning.

About 8am, members of New Westralia, an organisation claiming to be a "legitimate sovereign authority acting in the interests of the people native of the 'Dependencies of Western Australia'" broke down the door of the historic courthouse and took up residence before police arrived and made arrests.

A series of live videos shared on Facebook show the door of the National Trust building, which was built in the 1840s, being smashed and the alarm prompting the attention of a local security guard.

Referring to their actions as "peaceful protest", two men are shown praying before their sit-in – and apparent attempt to declare a sovereign nation – was interrupted by police.

"As a Christian nation New Westralia strives to be a world class destination for spiritual vitality, enlightenment, meditation, wonder and expression, on the great adventure of life," the group's website reads.

Prior to breaking in to the old courthouse the small group raised their own flag – which appeared to have similarities to the St George's Cross – to replace the "satanic" Australian flag.

Throughout the group's attempts to establish themselves as the "proper governing body of law for Western Australia", one of the members posted to social media: "I don’t have time to answer questions as we are under siege at the current moment in York, Australia and staying strong in our court ... please do your research as much as possible, good people ... I can only show you the way, we must all attempt our own escape and everything is in play to do so, trust me."

Three men and one woman were expected to face court in Northam on Friday afternoon on charges including crimina damage, trespass, and obstructing police.

Boomer nation.

People are mostly convinced its just the worst time for a protest because its a pandemic. The fact that its coinciding with what is now a global movement that is bringing notice to institutional, systemic oppression- that may not be in the spotlight again soon (and has been ignored for decades in this country)- is a side note. Indigenous people have been protesting this poo poo in vain for so long... It seems obvious they should capitalise on any wide-spread movement as much as possible. gently caress almost all our governments are trying to downplay the pandemic to get back to the status quo already for... the sake of the economy. Why not take a slight detour to try and improve some poo poo before that happens.

Those anti-lockdown/5g conspiracy dickheads were convinced corona virus was some kind of hoax. I'm hoping protests in favour of saving lives can show a little more responsibility about social distancing or masks. Even if they're not, its not going to be worse than any loving supermarket I've seen lately. God speed.

This is a near perfect demonstration of ACAB. A bad cop assaults and nearly murders a defenseless person (who was trying to help them btw). When a "good" cop moves to assist the man he is physically held and dissuaded from the action by another cop. 20 odd other cops walk past the dying man while one of their number suppresses and man handles the press who are recording the crime. The cops involved go on to report the assault as a "tripping incident".

If you don't understand ACAB after seeing this video then you are probably fash.

Cops shot a disabled man in the face with a rubber bullet. Look at all the Good Cops doing nothing to help beyond waving their hands at him because they know there are cameras pointed at them.

Yeah, the two cops were suspended without pay and the entire rest of the emergency squad quit their positions, but not their jobs.

Scoped it out around 12.30pm on my bike today, definitely several thousand by that point. As I left the CBD tons of people were flooding in over Victoria bridge.

Far too many people to maintain distancing and I'd say about 1/3rd of people weren't wearing masks, so I didn't stay for very long. I really wanted to be there but my partner is immunocompromised and I don't think it's safe enough yet :(

The Sydney “Stop All Black Deaths in Custody” rally has been declared an authorised public assembly after a late decision by the court of appeal as thousands of protesters rallied in cities and towns across Australia to march against Indigenous deaths in custody and the killing of US man George Floyd.

The decision came minutes before the rally’s scheduled start at 3pm outside Town Hall on Saturday.

Heard that they arrested 3 in Sydney so far. One was someone spitting in a police officers face, which clearly is assault in any situation.

One was an all lives matter chud who got taken down and cuffed.

How is it not ideal? Of the 3 arrests one was blatantly assault and the other was removing someone trying to incite poo poo.
