It’s being reported to the police. Every email we receive automatically captures their IP address.
There are some truly disturbing people among us.

The Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth was targeted and attacked with an explosive device.
The silence from the right has been deafening.
The same politicians who have spent the last month politicising violence are now nowhere to be found.

“… here’s why”
Because in this country it’s considered worse to call somebody racist than it is to be racist. So authorities won’t even call the like who bombed the Aboriginal gathering a terrorist because it labels him racist.
