'Run, run, run': Chaos at a Sydney mall as 6 people stabbed to death, and the suspect fatally shot
A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured.
New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs and not far from the world-famous Bondi Beach. They said they were not able to name him until a formal identification had taken place but that they weren’t treating the attack as terrorism-related.
The man was shot dead by a police inspector after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters.
Like flies on shit, you cunts turn up after every tragedy around the world, trying to convince us to have MORE death in society. You sicken me.
You do know more guns are in civilian hands in Australia now than before the 96 forced confiscation.
Bullshit that you keep repeating doesn't make it true. The legislation our govt passed in the wake of the Port Arthur tragedy makes our country a safer place for everyone.

Uhh ok, facts don't matter to most of you I see
Did you read the article, or are just cherrypicking a headline that suits your agenda? The article states that we have more guns in the hands of fewer shooters. Not great, but at least we're keeping guns out of the wrong hands. Australia licences guns appropriately, so hunters, farmers and hobbyists can still access the firearms that they need to. Your headline isn't the mic drop you think it is.
I didn't cherry pick anything. I said there are more guns in civilian hands than before the 96 laws. It's not that hard to understand, or do you like to just ignore that you said there weren't.
Your implication is that our gun culture is getting more like the US, which thankfully isn't the case. Yes, I was surprised and dismayed by the stats, but as I stated above, less people in Australia own guns now than in '96, which is great news.
That wasn't my implication at all, it was literally pointing out that you have more guns there now. Nothing more nothing less. I seriously hope you don't get to the NRA level here, to many FUDDs and idiots own firearms when they shouldn't at all.
