        Yes, they're for show more than anything else. All cities have many very busy intersections that could become targets at any time. Can't protect even 1% of them.

        Headline should read “Sydney fortified against Islamists”. Have the balls to call it what it is. Spineless media.

        OMG You may as well fortify against shark attack, heart attack, driving deaths, and drowning in the bath... they are ALL more likely ... this is just wasting money, populist bullshit caused by media beatups, and #politicians hiding from reality, with marketing hype!!

        How many mentally ill f'wits, drug using idiots, and gang bangers, have #Melbourne produced?? Calling half them #terrorist is like saying Santa did it!

        Only two come to mind who decided to drive a car through a crowded CBD. Both of them islamists, not Santas.

        Really ... so if a person has mental issues, and drug issues, and happens to be Muslim, then their actions are because of religion, not drugs, or mental issues? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-12-22/melbourne-car-crash-police-investigate-flinders-street-scene/9281044 … Does that work for other religions, too??

        They all have mental issues do they? 8 attempts to bring harm to this city by Islam inspired scumbags, and they all have mental issues. As do the hundreds in Europe that are systematically destroying countries like Sweden, France Belgium.......all are drug induced acts of lunacy.

        Did I say all? #Europe, other side of world, opposite hemisphere, different issues, small number causing big impact events ... scumbags is the word ... are you saying they aren't mad?? Extremists generally are on the fringe of mad! 'believe' THEY are right, all others are wrong

        Open your eyes. Europe is a prelude to what we will have here in ten years. Not in small numbers either. Women in Sweden can no longer walk the streets at night. Bombings are a weekly occurrence. The sheer weight of the evidence against this religion is overwhelming. Seriously?

        It’s not terror, it’s mass mental disorders, some may say “yet to be diagnosed mental disorders”.
