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.
It fucking sucks but thank fucking God they didn’t have an automatic weapon.
Why? Less people would have probably died. Automatics are stupid hard to shoot accurately. The military uses them for suppression even. They’re not designed to be accurate just to keep the enemy down.
Brainworms. Fuck your freedum bullshit, we don’t want or need your sick gun culture in Australia.
Better to have knife culture :P
Of course - any sane person would see that.
Cool the UK said the same thing, and now they have bans on knives in public. Just as Australia has bans on paintball guns and airsoft. The Overton window keeps getting pushed to one extreme or the other.
Like flies on shit, you cunts turn up after every tragedy around the world, trying to convince us to have MORE death in society. You sicken me.
You do know more guns are in civilian hands in Australia now than before the 96 forced confiscation.
Bullshit that you keep repeating doesn’t make it true. The legislation our govt passed in the wake of the Port Arthur tragedy makes our country a safer place for everyone.
Oh boy, I might make my first NCD Post out of this Aneurysm of a Post 😂
Go for it, you do know what NCD is right? Most people there are progun… it’s literally pro-military.
The fact that people like you are allowed to own automatic guns is the best argument against that being allowed.
The ncd on Lemmy is hilarious, it’s filled with a bunch of eurocucks who whine about firearms ownership.
