You know I just don’t get it, there seems to be two groups here claiming the high moral ground and that is just f——-g ridiculous.

We had Bob McMahon at one stage saying that they were about to arrest people , my first thought was NO WAY they can’t arrest us all if we just storm in ! and so I asked the head honcho (copper) who said no! that was not the case.
 
I had no inkling that there were a group who were dedicated to being arrested and when it was obvious that they were being so, I went back to Bob and said this not on , LETS ALL GO ! they cant arrest us all, at which point Bob offered me the mike and said here do you want to gee them up !  by then the paddy wagon was loaded and on the way out and I rushed across waving my arms and tried getting the crowd to block the entrance and stop the paddy wagon , as by then there was so much noise that the mike would not have been heard anyway.

Now I and a few others were first to confront the wagon also a lady with a walking stick and we succeeded in getting quite few to join us, but not everyone !  never the less we held them up for a considerable time and no one lost their temper !

So here we have two groups with similar mindset and no organisation or so it seems !

Perhaps the end result was worth it ! I dunno!  what I realised later was, after relating the issue to a friend , was who the hell would have looked after my bike had I been arrested.

And to the expert at counting crowds, JUST MAYBE with those inside we may have totalled 500, my earlier estimate may have been a little on the light side.

I think it is important that we get the facts right after all AUSTRALIANS are so f—-g lazy that if they reckon there is someone else will do
it they will stay home and watch the footy.
