I was perhaps more prepared for this than most. I still have some progressive friends and, six months before the attacks, I had shown one of them video of young Antifa men attacking a group of elderly feminists at a peaceful vigil in Melbourne. They had punched a woman in her seventies, knocking her to the ground and then kicking her head until they had fractured her skull. I said, 'I don’t know how you don’t see who the bad guys are here.' He replied, 'how can I? I don’t know what thoughts that old lady thinks.'"
