THE truth is out. Victoria Police is running a protection racket that helps the violent Left to silence conservatives and the Right. This time, the victims are two Canadian alt-Right internet stars, Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux, who were charged $68,000 for police to save them from Leftists trying to shut down their Melbourne event. The violence was bad enough. Hundreds of rioters of Melbourne’s violent fascist Left blocked the Hume Highway for two hours on Friday to stop the Canadians’ audience.
They assaulted police, reportedly threw rocks, wrestled with audience members, and invaded the venue.
One screaming woman nearly reached Southern before being grabbed by private security.
But what was truly sinister was that police demanded that Southern and Molyneux pay them $68,000 in protection money.

This is not a first. Last year, police demanded $50,000 from libertarian showman Milo Yiannopoulos for protection from violent Leftists outside his own Melbourne event.
NSW Police also asked Yiannopoulus for money. But nowhere is this protection racket worse than in Victoria, where the fascist Left knows that the more violent they are, the more police will charge their victims.
This is insane.
Why aren’t these bills sent to the perpetrators of the violence instead?
The victim-blaming is appalling. Commander Tim Hansen complained after Friday’s riot: “It is disappointing that we had to use significant resources to mediate between two groups with opposing views.”
No, Commander, police were not there to “mediate between two groups with opposing views”.
They were there to save people at a peaceful meeting from being attacked by law-breakers of the Left.
Why imply that Southern and Molyneux were to blame simply for peacefully stating their opinions on the murder of white farmers in South Africa or on the dangers of mass immigration from poorer Muslim countries?
