Thousands of anti-vaccine mandate protestors gathered in New Zealand’s capital of Wellington on Tuesday, Nov. 9, blocking roads and rallying outside of the country’s Parliament to denounce state-enforced COVID-19 vaccination requirements and government lockdowns.

While it was a mostly peaceful protest, bizarre images from ground showed protesters wearing Donald Trump masks and waving Trump flags. Still others carried “Let’s Go Brandon” signs, an anti-Biden political slogan. Patched Mongrel Mob and other gang members were also part of the crowd, according to Stuff.

Despite the protest not having anything to do with America, the scene invoked the image of the January 6 United States Capitol attack which saw thousands of Trump supporters storm the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. to protest President Joe Biden’s election.

Disturbing reports of violence and threats emerged throughout the day, as a cameraman was allegedly grabbed and pushed by protesters in Wellington, who yelled anti-media abuse, and a police officer was allegedly bitten by a protester in Auckland. One New Zealander posted a photo on Twitter of tennis balls that they alleged were thrown onto Parliament – the words “hang Ardern” scrawled on them in black marker.

Go figure.

3. Adhern. I'm sad really sad to see this

In New Zealand. The Senussi let people have gone mad!

I admired their prim minister for taking the bull by the horns.

6. No. Ardern. Prime. What the hell does the North African Sennusi religious sect have to do with this?

Calling the highest elected person in New Zealand "prim", especially in lower case, especially as she is a woman, is kind of icky in 2021, so I assume (hope) it was only the third element of carelessness in your brief post.

Can't even parse "Senussi let people have gone", that would be the fourth.

4. Lesson taught by the Fat Man and his fascist followers

well learned by Kiwi Anus-heads. Sad, so sad, and I hope these distant cousins of Anerica’s fascists are only a tiny minority of Kiwis.

5. How sad is this?

Seems they have their own lead paint chip snackers.

7. "Pro-Trump anti-vaxxer" is a self-negating term

given that the drooling moron has been vaccinated.

8. But he is holding a hand made sign which makes him an easy target

Also I just wanted to let you know, I know how to spell loser. I just figured this guy deserves a MORAN moment.

10. Thanks.

My Photoshop skills are limited and I don't have much need to learn Photoshop, so I appreciate the efforts of those who have the creativity and artistic eye that I don't possess.

14. I do not have a social media account so it would be great if someone here could post
