Last Monday was my 4th Walk/ Demo... as always, it was both super encouraging, and quite interesting. This time the count was 1,900 people... and let me tell you: the more people we are, the more interesting it gets. As our group grows, so does the number of police... and we've also had a growing group of counter-protesters.
Our "Walk" has turned into an officially registered "Demo"... meaning we have to comply with the current Covid-gathering-regulations, and we're escorted by the police. Ironically, at an OUTSIDE demo again Covid and medical tyranny, we had to wear masks. But ok... as long as the same rules apply for everyone and there's no differentiation between vaccinated/ non-vaccinated, then that's the least of my worries.
There were definitely more police than in the previous weeks... and this time they evidently wanted to make their presence known, and even provoked people on a few occasions. Instead of just escorting us or standing between us and the counter-protesters, they were mingling with us and trying to enforce the mask mandates. Really?! Don't the police have something better to do than try to convince 1,900 people who are OUTSIDE to put their masks on? Sure, they're only doing their job... but it just seems so ridiculous.
About 4 people were pulled out of the crowd for not wearing masks, and the police took their data... evidently these 4 will get a letter and be fined?! To me, it's no more than scare tactics and wanting to make examples out of people.
In the first video, you can see me standing in the middle of the street between our people and the police... the police basically stopped us and blocked us from walking further until everyone put their masks back on. We stood and waited for about 5-10 minutes... but it didn't escalate in any way, which was good. It really seemed like the police wanted to demonstrate their power, provoke people, and see to what extent people would comply. Very bizarre.
There were about 100-150 counter-protesters again... most of them with signs like "Go Chip Yourself", "Stop complaining and get vaccinated", "Grannies against Right-Wing" etc. The media likes to make this a "right vs. left" issues, but it's NOT! You would think that both right, left and middle would be against government and medical tyranny... but no, our current anti-fascist-left-wingers are instead promoting fascist-like government mandates and medical control. Oh, the irony.
Below are a few videos... about 20-30 firefighters even walked with us this time!
