Keep him in prison until someone needs his heart, lungs, liver etc. just leave him alive long enough to harvest him for spare parts.

Yeah not the worst idea if he is healthy internally. Otherwise I wouldn't want a cent wasted feeding that scumbag. Just let him die of starvation

Too many ********* allow to roam free

Zidane98 enjoying Amazon Prime so far, got billed today $3.90 which isn't bad at all. Almost worth it just for The Grand Tour.
I guess it may take a little while for the list of titles to grow closer to Netflix levels.

Yeah I'm on it too. Will piss it off when it goes back to $5 USD / month after 6 months. Not so sure about Grand Tour - it's fun but just not the same as Top Gear. They should've just made exactly the sane show and told BBC's lawyers to GAGF.

Apparently the driver was heard shouting "Allahu Akbar" or is that fake news? Unfortunately it can't be discounted, especially on such a historic day.

Dude was probably iced out of his mind, could've said anything and I wouldn't be too shocked.

Being "iced out of his mind" doesn't mean he didn't carry out an act of terrorism, even if it's just a lone wolf inspired by the similar recent attacks in France and Germany

The police have stated they aren't considering it an act of terrorism.

Get off the soapbox.

Not on a soapbox. Way too early to rule out terrorism is what I'm saying, especially when IS have encouraged these vehicle attacks as their mode of preference.

You seem to think terrorism can't happen in Australia, which is a tad naive don't you think?

Don't put words in my mouth. I don't think that at all. There WAS a terror incident here. There was one foiled a few weeks ago.

The police have stated that the incident is not terror related. I think it was a lunatic going nuts. Terrorist attacks typically don't start with an isolated incident like this guy stabbing someone in the suburbs.

Such an eerie feeling coming home from the city today. Very sad for all those affected, wrong place at the wrong time. Could've happened to anyone, just madness.

My wife said that thankfully two of the children admitted to the RCH have been discharged. Sadly a three month old and two year old are in a critical condition, hoping they all will be fine. Very proud of her and her colleagues for the tireless work they do in such situations.

Well let's just hope the truth comes out. Personally I think it will be someone who has sympathys towards the IS cause.

Kinda seems like you hope that's the case.

What a stupid thing to say.

The truth has come out.

He was a methhead who had apparently already stabbed someone earlier in the day, reportedly over drugs. This 'Allahu Akbar' phrase is so commonly known now and often said by many people who aren't Muslims who have no real idea what it means and just associate it with terrorism, it's really not an indicator of anything.

 

[Loonerty]

Just the impression you're giving off WR. Doubt I'm alone in thinking it.

 

[Cruyff14]

He is Greek so he would have no reason to shout Allah Akhbar.

And it was his brother he stabbed - in the face.

 

[Cooldude]

We gotta do more to keep these loons with a recidivist record off the streets, both Martin Place and this wouldn't happen if these guys get put where they belong

 

[WealstoneRaider]

It doesn't really matter what I think, the only thing that matters is that the truth comes out for the reason behind the attack. If the initial reports say it isn't terror related then that is something "positive".

You can't bury your head in the sand at times like this either. We live in a democratic society where we have the right to express ourselves and give our opinion. Your comment is just designed to stop that process in my opinion. It's s cheap shot and very immature

 

[Cooldude]

I live around the city, this is actually pretty devastating, hope the vibe picks up again soon

How do you know he's Greek? Have they released his name?
