It was likely part of the ransom. Those bullying the venue probably indicated that they’d continue to “make it hurt” unless the cancellation were an act of showy submission / contrition, giving a public recitation of the management’s “learning” something something about “inclusion” something something.
Silencing discussion through threats and violence is an effective strategy, it seems. I imagine nearly every female athlete at the olympics knows how much destructive punishment and censure would come at them for speaking out against the obvious unfairness and violence happening right on TV. They choose silence, because they have so much to lose.
But what do we gain from silence and cowing to bullies? Nothing. It is a false peace.
This. Ultimatums and threats work, because law enforcement is missing in action when defense against trans gangsters is required. TRAs are like a state sanctioned mafia. They get away with everything. I blame Trudeau’s rhetoric and policies as much as Ambrosia. I wonder if the police would have shown up at all, given the nature of the conflict.
This is one of the most terrifying parts, in my view. Criminal behaviour ignored or even condoned by police because those committing violent or nuisance crimes are on the “right side” of an ideological discussion. In this case, it sounds like police weren’t called.
Yeah and so they feel entitled to commit crimes, including violence. They believe they can get away with anything because everyone is terrified of being accused of being 'transphobic.' It's scary and dangerous.
I agree. The police don’t want to engage with fanatics who are so unhinged and violent that the cops would have to use force to subdue them, and it would look messy from a public relations standpoint.
