Uh oh… rumbled. ;)
Of course i’m not. I am satirising. Because your suggestion, and the implications of which, are ridiculous from the outset. The only sane response is to satirise the idea in the vain hope that through the equivalences drawn the ideas own ridiculousness is laid bare. In a bit of a ‘the emperor has no clothes’ kind of moment.
Have a good day mate. Lets protect freedom together in our own ways.

My suggestion? Of letting people protest?

… in the corner; out the way; down the street; where it can’t be heard… etc it doesn’t matter the caveat.
The suggestion that other people shouldn’t have to deal with protestors on the road, because “they’re in the way”. Well shit, the AFL is in my way! And they’re playing for a good half a year or more as well. Point is, certain things people do, especially on our roads, are gonna annoy others.

Or protest where it affects the people you’re protesting to get attention of - at parliament, at the government offices, etc. Not where you’re just pissing regular people off and hurting your own cause.
