Protesters face gunfire in anti-vax mandate riots
Escalating opposition to lockdowns enters a new, deadly phase
Opposition to vaccine mandates has entered a dangerous new phase with protesters openly putting their safety at risk as authorities resort to deadly force to crush resistance.
Police opened fire on protesters in downtown Rotterdam in a demonstration against COVID-19 restrictions late Friday night. The city’s mayor called it "an orgy of violence.”
Two rioters were shot and hospitalized while police arrested 51 people, many of whom were underage youths.

A police officer was also hospitalized with a leg injury. "Countless" others suffered minor injuries.
It’s the worst violence in the Netherlands since pandemic restrictions were imposed last January when rioters attacked police and set fires on the streets of Rotterdam after a curfew was imposed.
What are we to make of this latest escalation?
It should serve as a stark warning to government officials and bureaucrats pushing lockdowns that mounting backlash will lead to more bloodshed.
It’s one more chapter in the ongoing struggle to defend our freedoms against a global power grab.

Authorities pushing vaccine mandates and lockdowns as a means of bullying their populations into accepting covid shots and boosters are meeting stiffening resistance from an increasingly angry and determined opposition.
Governments should immediately back down from their insistence on imposing anymore draconian pandemic measures.
Will they listen? Don’t bet on it.
Instead they are doubling down.
The willingness by the public to accept a measure of restrictions early on in the pandemic has emboldened tyrannical elements in government now so drunk on their power they don’t want the party to end.
Authorities are now exploiting the threat of a ‘fourth wave’ as the pretext for imposing sweeping new pandemic restrictions.
In Austria, citizens will be forced into another full COVID-19 lockdown as neighbouring Germany served notice it may do the same.
Freedom loving people around the world should align themselves in solidarity against such measures.
Bullies tend not to listen to reason until they are forced to do so against their will.
If the authorities had any sense, they’d be growing nervous right now.
