Glad the cops killed the piece of s**t. I only wish he lived so he could die a more painful agonising death.

updated, and I agree

is it possible that trolley-man and chair-man acted because they believed that the police were taking too long?

Certainly seemed that way

The Israelis have Krav Maga

I don't think we could compare Australian cops to Israeli ones. For one, they've all done military training.

**** me drunk members of the public trying to fight him with the cops

Drunk or f'n fed up? Id say that the general public have had a skin full of these pr1cks. The Victorian Government has cow towed to these people long enough. It's time to put the lives of everyday people ahead of the legal rights of Daniel Andrews voters.

It's definitely possible. But you would have to ask them. Some people (thankfully) are of the character to confront adversity at risk of themselves. It's commendable, if somewhat stupid. And I'm in no way casting aspersions on those whose natural reaction is self preservation. It's just reality.

Any real man in the area would act in a similar way to try to help the situation. The cops did appear helpless by all their dancing around dodging his attacks.

The unveiling of the Myer Christmas windows was due to open this evening at 6pm 200 meters west down the road

Thousands more would have been in the Bourke street Mall

Could this have been the intended target of the perp but he got his timing wrong and location?

Youre a joke

Terrorism as in 'politically motivated violence by a non State actor'.

Rolling eyes emoji

 

[Mike Smyth]

Terrorism is rare in Australia so get off your high horse One Nation.

You try telling that to the families who have had a loved murdered by these scumbags.

"sorry that little Johnny died but just be thankful that the terrorism statistics are quite low".

I have no idea yet literally mention the drug they give people for anxiety and depression in Australia today? lol. Anyone who thinks MENTAL ILLNESS can be cured by drugs literally thinks there is a right "chemical concotion" that can turn a terrorist into Apu. There are already people in here claiming the guy is "mentally ill" and not doing it for political reasons because that is what they want to believe.

People would rather believe there are insane people out there that randomly kill people rather than understand that there is an actual ideology that promotes and rewards it.

Drugs don't ever cure anyone of anything. They lessen symptoms, dull pain receptors, rebalance seratonin levels or whatever. But cure? Nah, drugs can't do that.

let's not forget we also had obike-man from Grand Final Day last year

I don't think we could compare Australian cops to Israeli ones. For one, they've all done military training.

Maybe there's a lesson in that, then? More intensive hand-to-hand training for Aussie cops might be a go?

 

[Maddhew]

How may people in Australia are known to ASIO?

Wonder what the stats are for how many people in the west think it’s okay to drop bombs in the Middle East. I’d say it’s quite high

I would say the opposite although Hillary and Obama didn't seem to have a problem with it.

BTW really classy professor.

 

[red+black]

Youre a joke

You seem to have an inability to add to the discussion, perhaps you should just leave.

Unless you have an opinion of why two members of the public did what they did.

 

[Marmik]

Any real man in the area would act in a similar way to try to help the situation. The cops did appear helpless by all their dancing around dodging his attacks.

Any real man? You mean possibly make the situation worse for police who are trying to get the situation under control by just being in the way? Wrong choice of username as your posts suggest you are far from that.

You would rather this guy alive than dead? I would be ok for that if Australia had a quick death penalty option for cases like this. But it doesn't so street justice is the only way to get real justice in Australia.

Fight or Flight.

Crashed , lit fire in car , stayed in car , stabbed bystanders who came to check on him ?? Also punches or stabs cop while still sitting in his car ?? , jumps out , bystanders back up cops , bang ??...

We don't know the exact time-breakdown of events yet , may never know now seeing it's been confirmed terror incident , which i assume will bring it under certain security/media laws ( shrugs )

 

[QuietB]

I'm surprised to hear you say that Shan. With the available knowledge at the scene for the police, and considering the weapon was lower end threat level (machete or axe different story) I thought the police did a terrific job to hold their nerve and attempt to calm the attacker down and use non-lethal force if possible.

Not only that, they didn’t shoot each other and they didn’t shoot any members of the public.

This is Bourke Street at 4pm on a Friday afternoon.

Anyone advocating the police empty their magazines ASAP is an idiot.

 

[red+black]

He set fire to his car with barbecue gas bottles in it and three men came over and stabbed all three.

man that is so very sad, I hope the two that survived will be ok

Yeah those two cops dancing around like they are practicing ballet are real men? Thank god one cop finally got his gun out. Two real men, bystanders in the area saw the situation needed help and tried to provide it. Get back to the corner beta guy.

 

[King Elvis]

Send all his family back home. Apparently all his family is known to ASIO.

Should’ve done that before this incident.

I would not advocate anyone intervene when police are on the scene. Someone else just commented that the three that were stabbed may have been trying to prevent him from exploding the car and gas cylinders, but that was before the cops arrived.

Agree. It’s ridiculous.
