        And the absolute irony of a homeless Australian trying to take out a nutbag immigrant who lived in public funded housing!

        He was brave. But next time, copy cats may not be so lucky and take a bullet intended for the perp. Or worse still, get in the way and perp gets away or kills more. Especially with $ incentive now. Not the best idea.

        I noted he was brave & pointed out as police have implied, that there‘s potential of well meaning people being injured or worse. Or hindering police bringing the perp down resulting in more victims. It was pure luck the outcome was as it was. If you don’t like my opinion move on.
