That's pretty messed up.

Pretty worrying how much political violence there is these days. Never used to be a thing before.

I really hope we don't see anyone seriously injured or even killed, like we've seen in other countries.

Meanwhile in the thread on ACT policies, the guy saying he’s going to piss on their door handles was the most upvoted comment.

I think your comment was about the only one that disagreed with their policies in a civilised way without resorting to name calling.

I wish more people could recognise differences of opinion or perspective without resorting to name calling but this the internet so pretty sure that isn’t going to happen any time soon. Unfortunately I think it encourages those people who take it too far to keep running with their over the top opinions that I reckon lead to violence. One of the biggest challenges on social media when everyone lives in their own little echo chambers.
