Australian reporter shot by rubber bullet cheered jailing of anti-lockdown protester

Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi, recently injured by a rubber bullet while reporting in Los Angeles, is facing backlash after a resurfaced tweet revealed she had celebrated the imprisonment of an anti-lockdown protest organiser during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a 2021 post, Tomasi described the sentencing of Anthony Khallouf—who was jailed for organising a Sydney anti-lockdown rally—as a “good result” and “hopefully a warning” to others planning to protest.

The tweet has reignited criticism of media attitudes toward civil liberties during the pandemic, with some pointing to the irony of a journalist who endorsed harsh crackdowns on protest now becoming a victim of force while covering demonstrations abroad.

  1. Relative of Mary Jane Tomasi working in Oz???
    Who knows- seems as though all of the broadcasting companies are rife with nepotism…and proto-globalist operatives sitting in front of the cameras spewing off deliberate lies!
    Cheering the imprisonment of a person who was trying to protect the human race by calling-out the mRNA weaponised bio-weapon?
    Well..what goes around comes around…this time via the pain of a rubber bullet!
    Stick around supporting the protesters who live in the U.S., receive U.S. Government benefits, whilst waving the Mexican flag and hating the country that they are living in- and watch what the Patriots and Veterans do…
    The George Soros / John Podesta funded riots will get worse until Civil War Two kicks off in deadly fashion. Here’s a snippet of what this will be like-

  2. Karma is a funny thing – it seems the reporter got her just deserts. The arrogance of some reporters is unbelievable and in this latest incident it appeared that she was very near the police and not in her correct place (well back from the action). The police probably saw the tart as a damn nuisance.

  3. Andrew Bolt on the Bolt Report on Sky Australia last night said (that in relation to Lauren Tomasi) that the reporters were reporting from the protesters side. Most reporters are not known for any intelligence, such stupidity.

  4. [Doesn’t she have a husband in Australia, or anywhere, to take care of?

    What is she doing in LA sucking the mic like a crack pipe?]
