A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.
New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.
There needed to be more good guys with a knife.
Well thankfully he didn’t have easy access to a gun
That’s all I think about whenever I hear about a sick fucko intent on killing.
With a gun, the numbers would be significantly higher.
I agree with all points, but isn’t the officer who stopped it from continuing the ‘good guy with a gun’ here?
It’s almost like it’s possible to have good guys with guns without letting every single person get guns by default.
Only the enforcers of the state can have guns
“The government has been captured by capitalists and does their bidding.”
“Only the government should have guns.”
This has always fascinated me.
I disagree with the idea that cops should be considered good or bad. They are state force applied. A cop can be a good person, but I think the whole point of the uniform is to remove the person from the position
Completely agree and I was referring only to this specific instance.
They’re all in England.
They sold all their knives because Crocodile Dundee size shamed them
Where you at croc d?
