Be sure to teach a lot of youngsters the importance of firearms for defense of self and of liberty, and train them to be safe marksmen. There will come a day when their liberty and survival of the republican form of government (not the party) in America will depend on it.

Ah, we are all so lucky to be dead in the next hundred or so years. We won't have to experience any of it as it spreads across all those countries that still have a blind eye to precisely what that culture tells us, how they plan to spread it all over the earth. It's just a fact of life. Wars, in the past, have been started on much less.

Perhaps we need some reporters to go into South Chicago with a mike and camera, perhaps they could help figure out what is going wrong in that culture, why they so like to kill each other.

Really?
You think it would have been different if she had been a citizen?
Either way, you think it's OK to threaten people with arrest for the potential actions of OTHERS?
Wow...

Ever hear the details of how Hitler rolled into France so easily? Beforehand he sent some of his people in to bribe (and possibly threaten) the local officials (law enforcement, etc). I believe that is what has happened in these places. That, at least, explains this...

It's not about actual sharia law, it's about the beginnings of sharia doctrines by ignoring existing laws and blaming the potential victim for any potential crime.

I'd like to read your links but they don't work... Looks like they are too long and I can't even use both lines to access them....

I am starting a new religion, called the Curmudgeonites. We will accept any race, but generally will cater to the old, cranky, self-made, hard-working. We will sit on our porches and throw rocks at anyone that offends us, particularly kids and dogs in our yards. We hope to have a significant following, so we can start intimidating people.
We will happily endorse attractive women and men wearing as little as they chose, walking through our neighborhoods, good beer, wine and other alcohol, MJ and drugs, if you can control yourself.

Seems like the only thing good about Australia is it's location in dealing with China and that side of the Pacific. Sure isn't that Fosters, worse than Budweiser, crap.

No offense taken ... Thanks for your comments and recommendation!
Hopefully I'll be able to visit Tasmania someday soon.

Let's take a wider look at the OZ situation. PC garbage has been running amok for 40 years down under. The main reason is white guilt. The first legislation by the newly established government after independence was the White Australia Policy. If you were white you were welcome , if not , stay out! This was the law of the land for over 100 years.
Couple that with the disastrous Aboriginal policies and you have one of the most racist countries on the planet.Yes I know it Native Australian now, thanks.
Now mix in the PC idiots trying to compensate for this discrimination and mix in some good leftist ends justify the means logic and you have a gun free soft dictatorship / police state tactics and bingo, welcome to now.
The government regulates EVERYTHING down the the price of a glass of beer and the glass itself.
If a pub were t sell you a beer not in a approved , stamped glass they would instantly lose there licence.
Retail trading hours are regulated, wages are set buy the government, overtime , even 10 m is forbidden without advance notice, like two weeks.
No aspect of life is free and if you don't like it you better keep below the radar , no bill of rights, no 1st or god forbid 2nd amendment, no nuttin.

Social utopia run amok, the mob is not the cause of all this crap the Government is..

We all know that Islam is a collectivist dictatorship hiding as a religion. It's about time that we started treating it as a repressive dictatorship and not a religion. Japan has the right idea, Islam is not allowed there, in practice or anything else. It should be an object lesson to those extreme left wing churches; in the USA. Be a religion or be a political organization, but you can't be both.

Isn't it time to say no!

There are similar areas in London and Paris (remember the riots a decade ago?). Even London judges are beginning to grant some leniency to Sharia courts despite their extra-judicial and extra-legal origins.

Brexit is the least of Great Britains issues.

Point acknowledged;^)

She is doing it in Australia and other countries to try, in her mind, to bring awareness to the hypocrisy of the Western liberal press and Western liberal political parties that preach that "everyone loves one another - peace and community love is in everyone's hearts. All is beautiful and wonderful. DON'T mention anything negative."
By doing so, she hopes to curtail such balderdash back in Canada, etc.

I think her "sharia law" point was that if people can't even walk through the area and the police aren't enforcing western law since they prevented her from walking down the street, then thus that particular area is cordoned off and subject to the local law.

Yes, it did. The Australia videos on her website are quite informative, too, although the camera operator needs training and the audio could be a lot better;^)

I actually agree with what the officer did in this particular case. Purity of laws are nice to discuss but the cop was trying to save her from what could have been a bad incident.
She was a foreigner - not the same as a citizen of the town trying to walk down that street.

I think her primary point she was trying to display via a video is that the claim that "there are no "no go" zones in Australia" was a lie.
Thus, the video made its primary point.

Having actually had to deal with Australian immigration as a foreigner I have some insight. Unless you want to hire a lawyer and spend a fortune defending your rights, you'd better do what they tell you to do (assuming you are Caucasian from a western country and can't claim racism.) The law as written says one thing but they can use their "judgement" and decide to make your life hell and put you immediately on a plane to your home country. They can arbitrarily refuse to approve your tourist visa even if you have done nothing except spending money (earned and saved in your home country) in Australia legally. (I would probably still be in Australia if this was not the case.)
Police are police and do what their bosses tell them. If the boss said she was a troublemaker then they use their "judgement" and apply it accordingly. Had she not acted as the officer advised she would have needed a lawyer to maintain her visa (unless she had some friends with "pull".)

ffa- yeah, nah.
No Aus visa prohibits walking along a street carrying cameras wherein there is a mosque.

The Aus. gov. minister (secretary) for immigration and border protection, Peter Dutton, has
spoken about giving refugee status to white S.African farmers as they are being murdered by
gangs with tacit government support. According to antifa (=fascist, new left) the use of the
word 'white' makes him a racist along with Lauren Southern who is of the same view.

Reporters and wannabe reporters (the latter a new trend) stick their noses into things That';s what they do. .
I should know. I was a reporter for 7 years during the Seventies in a rural county.
One lady once called me "the local instigator." At least she was laughing when she said it.
Had my life threatened several times. After a close call, me then a very healthy dino fairly fresh out of the Marines began to conceal carry an H&K .380 and keep a larger .45 in my glove compartment. Fortunately, I never had to use them.

The cop knew because her trip to Australia was all over the left-biased Australian news, just as it was when she visited the UK, and when she visits the US. Her visa application was initially rejected until she asked for assistance from some Aussie politicians and Auckland NZ refused to let her speak in city venues. Her purpose is not to be a reporter of the news but to make the news and encourage more people to have her views. She does the same things that we find so offensive in American biased left-leaning "reporters". The cops undoubtedly realized she would be interested in creating a scene and they wanted to prevent unnecessary injuries (and publicity that is embarrassing to the existing regime.) They are police; it isn't their job to encourage free speech, but to prevent it. Unsurprisingly, the liberal government doesn't want to hear from someone who disagrees with their policies.
I wish the American "journalists" would mind their business, too, meaning leave your biases in your apartment and report the news without bias.
One of her views is that the west should stick to western culture because it is a success, and I generally agree.
She appears to believe that she needs to tell Australians how they should run their country, and to tell the UK how to run their country.
I think Australia and the UK are western "democracies" who have a high level of literacy and free speech. They can access the internet just as we can with little censorship.
Let them succeed or fail without interference from busy bodied attention seekers from foreign countries. However, that doesn't mean they should refuse to allow a visitor to speak just because their views are different. That's censorship.

Okay, I stand corrected. Uh, but did the cop even know she was Canadian?
For another thing, how is she sticking her nose where it does not belong?
Are not American reporters in foreign countries?
Are not foreign reporters in the USA?

From the vid- No evidence of sharia law.
Australia is a bit behind the policing policies of Sweden, UK and EU.
No jailings (yet) such as of Tommy Robinson in UK.
No evidence of the grooming gangs for which the UK is notorious, see Rotherham, Rochdale, etc.
There is hyper-sensitivity by police to anything critical of 'the religion of peace'.
Also note the presence of groups such as of antifa (not anti-fascist but violent fascists).
freedomforall's comments are good. While I also do not share/understand the second amendment view,
Australia does seriously need constitutional freedom of speech protection.

There is little in the news but here are some related blog items:
1. Police (Victoria) billed the Canadian internet star $68,000 for protecting her Melbourne audience from violent Leftists determined to shut down her peaceful and lawful speaking event.
Police (NSW) try to stop her from walking lawfully and peacefully past the Lakemba mosque.
