        They said that about the guy that tried to blow up the ACL. "He was just mentally ill". B*llcrap. He deliberately targetted the ACL, he knew what he was doing.

        “is believed to be”? Who believes? What a gutless way of allowing authorities to pretend that a terrorist attack was merely an accident. Try this: “Cowardly cops are describing the attack in Melbourne which sent many people to hospital as the work of a mentally ill drug addict.”

        Fair enough, I’ll accept that and offer a qualified apology—to the con-cowardly cops—; it’s clear, however, that there’s at least one huge yellow-belly somewhere at the top—as well as enabling idiots in newsrooms.

        Looks more like an Islamic terror attack. Why does the bbc try and cover all these Isis attacks up and make excuses? You scared of them?

        So? Why is everyone so quick to discount the terror link? An Islamist can also be a drug addict. It's revealing that everyone seems to lend an excuse to people who don't ask for one. #FlindersStreet #Melbourne

        The only thing that provides less input than your opinion on this matter, was that insult. Profoundly stupid, much like the devolved mammal that thought to write it.
