Hopefully that bloke is awarded the Cross of Valour, nothing less.

The Anti Semitism Commissioner's(?) recommendations are still sat on the Govt table
Poo from the incoming chickens coming home to roost will hit the fan

No doubt, but all I would say to that is all the political and media leadership that will be along to try and roost those chickens probably bear more blame for this than anything nearly anyone else did (save the murderers and their accomplices) to bring this about.

I'm not one for video nasties, but I chanced this because of the heroism, and frankly, I don't know how he didn't blow his knee caps off, and if it had been empty tattoo him round the lug for his trouble with it. The speed he turned the gun over is incredible.

I think it was a shot gun and he'd just fired it, so it was unloaded...the shooter had a tote bag over his shoulder. Probably full of shells...which is why he could walk away without fear of getting his arse shot off.

If this had been in the UK, the lad who tackled one of the terrorists would probably be prosecuted for anti-Islamist hate crime.

We need a global reset.

As much as I agree with the bit about a global reset, history tells us that only happens after a global conflict. I have two boys, one is 26 and one is 17 (18 in January) and I worry for their futures as well as the future of humanity in general as the world seems to be going mad, but it has certainly escalated in the last fifteen years.

The irony of this post…

“The world is full of hate” followed by calling politicians unrelated to this incident “sub-human”.

Do you think you’re bringing about the reset you claim to want with that kind of talk? Looks like you’re pouring petrol on a fire mate tbh

Someone who had worked with the shooter said he was licensed to have the gun apparently. (Sporting shooter) But in the same post, the guys driving licence was shown, with his address. Crowds are gathering…

Also, in the suburb where there’s a high Demographic that are sympathetic to the cause, fireworks were being set off!

One of my best mates lives at Bonnyrigg Heights, I'll ask him if this is true

Ah sorry @BiggyRat I'm guessing you mean at Lakemba not out at Bonnyrigg where that shooter is from

I mean, the rise of fascism and hateful rhetoric that the likes of Trump and Farage have normalised have objectively made the world a more dangerous and violent place. Not sure it’s that controversial a take.

How else would you describe Farage and Trump, as I was actually being quite polite with my description of them ?
