You could do more damage with a vehicle than a gun

 

[Gigantic]

I work just right by there, didn't hear a peep until building management made an announcement over the speaker

 

[Bomberboyokay]

God our incidents are so tame compared to the US

Gee, why could that be...

How's the bogan that runs in at the end after the other blokes and firefighters have him pinned down that starts yelling and threatening to kill him there?

Is it bad that I kind of laughed at that? Like, the whole video showed this crazy bloke, being confronted by brave bystanders. Next minute he's subdued and held down, they're all saying "wait for the police". Great look for Australia.... and then.....this nuffie rolls up trying to kick him and threatening to kill him

The official Australian language on display for international cameras

I'm sure the rest of the world won't be confused by 'you're a piece of shit, mate'

Just gotta shake your head. Good on the other fellas for telling him to stop it. Legitimate heroes.

Shows there's still some good in the world and that media are rodents and nothing more.

Good people's first reaction, help.
Media first reaction, get the cameras rolling. We need to film the actual good people being good people. Vile

I doubt it was the media filming . It would have been members of the public at that stage .

 

[edgie]

Some of the people filming were a camera crew for Channel 7 that were in the area.

I don't think it is vile at all for journalists to do what they do. They still put themselves in danger to record it.

House fire breaks out. You either grab the hose or grab your camera phone. They are shit people, no 2 ways about it. Ambulance chasers

Did you watch the footage? If so, aren't you just as bad? Its giving their work credence

Fair point but I'm in another city, couldn't exactly help.
However I can say I have never filmed a bad event, nor will I ever. As I said, some people will help, others will grab their phones...
We're in a sad state where people's first reaction is to film it for social media or whatever instead of help people. That's my point. It happens everywhere

Even at mass shootings in america. Who the hell hears gun fire, screams etc nearby and films rather than runs?! What goes through people's heads. Social media rotting the brain. Gotta do it for the likes I guess

Yeah agree, society is ****ed, but media have more of a right to do it, its their job. Im sure there were others who decided not to help who just stood and watched it go down.

I think in this instance where things are happening live in front of you there's a duty to help more than film? Be a journalist later surely?

There were already a handful of blokes around already. The footage will be helpful for prosecution.

This event has highlighted to me how good we have it in australia - when somebody with mental health problems and murderous intentions goes on a rampage, he kills one person with a knife instead of killing 20 with an assault rifle like he would have done in the US. Then he's running around screaming "shoot me." If he had a firearm then this would've been mass homicide followed by suicide.

But I hope you guys realize that the gun nuts in america who resist firearm regulation will always find a way to flip it around and use it in defense of their own argument - they'll say "see, that's why we need guns, to protect ourselves from people like that!" facepalm

Don't bring a knife to a milk-crate fight.

Found with ANTENEX

Antenex is used to: manage anxiety. relieve symptoms associated with alcohol withdrawal such as acute agitation and tremor. relax muscles.

Benzos are dangerous. People spin out on them all the time. This guy killed his hooker and tried suicide by cop. Heath ledger killed Himself on the same drug.

Here we have idiots going on about gun control lol, we will save more lives if we concentrate on pharmacuitical control.

Gun control changed nothing in Australia. Saved No lives.

Since Gillard got in the use of Pych drugs has rocketed and the suicide rate has rocketed with it.

Taking people's guns does not save life's, taking them off Pych drugs does.

Abuse of benzos is dangerous, I've got a bottle of vallies in my bathroom and I'd be lucky to take one a month.
