I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm all for differing opinions on subjective matters, it's part of learning and living. Arguing against facts is another matter, the worst part of conspiracy theorists ( for want of a better term here ) is they can't substantiate a counter argument with fact, its all Facebook, Youtube and anytime you offer them facts it's fake or formulated to appease the masses. It's a cop out from actually providing evidence, fact based evidence, the contrary. It's easy being a conspiracy theorist because you just call everything bullshit and it suits your narrative. Don't have to be very smart to do that.


Agree.
But as I have said before deciphering between fact and fiction is getting so much harder today due to fake news.

Even harder to understand is Covid ‘facts’ as the goal posts are changing as data and new knowledge comes to light.

Of course, we live in an electronic world with information, data, stats all piling in by the second on a pandemic like the world has never seen.

By only the still photo evidence it is definitely not a good look.

I think Daisies assessment on the media is quite correct scum media as per usual they sensationalise a story.

From what i can see in this vid the mans hand was in a formed fist but his left arm was fully extended and looks like he was fending off the horses head i cannot see where he has actually taken a swing at the horse.

Any way my two bobs worth may be it should be referred to the AFL VCR Panel for adjudication. :)

You have a point about the seriousness of the altercation
However

NSW is in a curfew- the Government can deem he has broken that protocol
The person was not wearing a mask
The person was not social distancing

He has broken laws[if we deem covid rulings as laws], laws that most of the NSW people are adhering to
It does not mean these laws are right or wrong, but a law is a law

Well if the copper was in a relationship with the horse then I guess the analogy carries more water.

Exactly. When covid first came out we had to stop using cash, paper, pens etc because the virus could hang around on surfaces for days. Now they can set it to a specific 2 hour window of when an infected person was at a site.
I remember we had to stop using paper con notes because of the threat of contagion, could only use pens which were sterilised after each use (some places the staff had to sign in & out their pen for the day), weren't even allowed out of the truck to go to the toilet on some sites. If this new delta strain is 5 times more contagious, why aren't all the original protocols in place.

This is the demographic we really want and need playing sport still, and some dont play a summer sport, so think SA Gov would be eager to get these kids back out there to enjoy what's left of their season sooner rather than later.


Why can't SANFLJ comp be pushed out like other competitions? Junior Country footy will be going for another 2 months yet.
