        Pretty sure the guy who was killed didn't enjoy those 'gestures' one little bit.

        My sympathies are with the deceased innocent bystander (& the others in hospital). I don't give a shit about the scumbag with the knife who has since died. Somali refugee that we took in & offered a good life, yet he kills Australians. He can rot in hell.pic.twitter.com/qciMCEwKpc

        Problem is, these creeps & events normally inspire others to try the same thing, in a week in a month whatever, he will inspire another bloody loose screw to come loose 😡 & so the cycle goes on. Interesting that Italy today formally announced they will start exporting this lot

        Salvini could save Italy. He has his work cut out but he's doing a great job. He's fearless against the totalitarian EU. This Somali's wife is missing & has been radicalised so danger not over. Moving interstate looking desirable especially if Andrews returns.pic.twitter.com/4zYMbAmFhw

        This is tragic - but this is what we're talking about when we say strict gun control works. This man was a threat, sure. But one died, the rest will all live with non-serious wounds. Police were able to handle him without getting into a huge shoot-out.

        What would have happened if he'd had an AR-15 with extended mag and bump stock in his hands, instead of a knife?

        Sorry do you mean me? Because I rightly stated that he would have killed dozens if he'd had "America's favourite gun", instead of the knife? No dude, I'm not scared - I live in Canada, where we've had WAY less mass shootings in our entire history, than the USA had this year.

        If you think innocent people being slaughtered by the hundreds every month in the USA makes you "strong"...well, that's really kinda fucked up. We're not weak, or boring, because mass shootings aren't a weekly thing here...

        To clarify a man has stabbed three members of the public on #BourkeStreet. One person has died. Offender was shot and is in critical condition. His car was fitted with a bomb that exploded. No prizes for guessing what religious group he is affiliated with! #BourkeSt

        They are not a local media outlet so they have only half the facts clearly! They should fact check a bit better before putting tweets out there.

        Pretty sure that was more than gestures, he stabbed the officer two times then was shot.
