No. I grew up in Townsville and look what just happened 4 teens in a stolen car and that is normal for them to break into houses , cars , starting fights. I don’t get paid to go to school I went so I could get a good job and work for what I have . The government gives them money houses programs and the don’t care to better themselves.

Im not going but i wish i could! I just cant risk Covid, my little 4 year old has all sorts of issues and her life is too important to me. What is worrying me though, is while i fully agree with BLM and that change must happen, so many Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders turning out for these events is a MAJOR risk to all their lives! Especially if people from the more remote communities travel down for the protest, the could potentially go home and wipe out whole communities :( i just hope that this dosnt happen, imagine how many black lives we could lose if things go wrong!

But i totally get why they feel like they must attend, but shit, i hope it dosnt back fire.

I support the cause, but no way would i risk covid 19. Ive decided to put a ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign in my front window, (like the rainbows and the bears) to show my support and to get imy children involved. We will make it today and i will use it as a learning moment to talk about the movement with my kids.

No I wouldn't protest for black lives. I do believe black lives matter, and believe it's an important issue, but not something I would put myself out for. Perhaps when black people protest about protecting themselves and us against black violence I do the same for them.

I think the whole thing is getting out of control! Now hollywood is pulling movies from the screens like gone with the wind - there may be some racist content, however, its depicting what it was like at that time - maybe it would actually help if people watched it and were 'shocked'

Why copy the U.S? No thanks. Equality is important, but people should be staying home right now.

This man certainly shouldn't have been killed, but he was a criminal with a long rap sheet. He certainly was no hero like hes being made out to be! 4 black cops were killed during the riots and looting- what about them??? They are more the heros and they deserve to be recognised.

NO! All lives matter, regardless of skin colour

What exactly did this stupid rally achieve anyway? Except maybe a few more Corona cases

100% no.
I support black lives matter but holy shit I honestly think half the people at the rallys/protests are there just to start riots. It’s sad.

They should do an online rally

I agree with the cause but nope I don't wish to risk CV

So I just found out....SHE DIDN’T EVEN GO ANYWAY!!! She gave me such a hard fu&&ing time about it 😡

Saying that you're non-supportive of a cause due to not going to a protest/rally, is like saying that you can only pray if you go to a church. Your friend is a dunce.

Apparently it will be an illegall rally in Sydney and if you go, you could be fined for breaking the social distancing rules

I didn’t go. It’s not just the Covid risk for me, I wouldn’t go anyway. Rather than going into big crowds I just donate what I would have spent on petrol, parking, lunch and water to worthwhile charities. An extra $$$ from those of us who want to support the cause but don’t want to get caught up in the hype goes a long way.

If you go you're an IDIOT. You might have forgotten about Coronavirus but Coronavirus hasn't forgotten about you.

STAY HOME AND SAVE LIVES. SIMPLE

Nope laws against crowds still in force here and I don’t break sensible laws designed to keep us safe.
I support racial equality though and will continue donating to that.

I really wanted to go BUT I don’t like being in a crowded place especially with my kids ! I
Will be supporting from home. #BLACKLIVEMATTER

Your friend is an idiot. There are many ways to support a cause, a rally being just one.

No, not going, and your friend is a bit of an over-opinionated idiot to claim you don't support a cause just because you don't go to a rally that could very-well get out of hand and become dangerous.
