I Was One of the Ones Shot With Pepper Pellets in Melbourne and Then With a Rubber Ball Bullet
By Matt
I was one of the ones shot with pepper pellets in Melbourne and then with a rubber ball bullet from less than three metres away.
I am a peaceful person and human rights activist who has been speaking up about the dangers of lockdowns for our children and businesses and I always attend the rallies to ensure that everyone is calm and peaceful.
I put myself in the firing line when I saw the guns drawn as there were children and elderly people in the crowd and I did not think for a second that our police would open fire on unarmed civilians.I was shot three times with pepper bullets and then hit with the LARGE rubber bullet which is made to disperse crowds from 50 metres away (I was within 3 metres)
I now have a 2cm x 4.8cm internal tear in my abdomen and internal bleeding. The emergency ward doctor said that if it had hit my chest or other parts of my stomach I would have died and if a child had been hit they would have died too. This should never ever happen again. We must find peace.
