Unfortunately it won’t let we play any of the videos or live streams. It did show a photo of the guy, but it doesn’t look like a machete , looks alike an ordinary knife

Sounds like another Muslim practicing Islam again. I've noticed the propagandists leave out such facts. Atttribute behavior to mental health not ideology.

Although I understand the view you mention @Wrangler , I don’t believe it is right to automatically blame the Muslims. Sometimes people do horrible things without being associated with any group.
I found it interesting that he entered the mall and then left and returned, so perhaps something happened while he was in there the first time and then he went back with a weapon.
There have been many attacks where it turns out to be disgruntled employee.

Only time will tell in this case

It may not have been perpetrated due to Islamic beliefs, but we shouldn't ignore the historical percentages of when they were. Islam is an abomination and their perspectives and objectives are evil.

How dare you call Angelina an Aussie . . . she's not a West Islander.

But it is still wrong to jump to that conclusion in this case and situation

Got this from oldmate, Copilot.

Here are the notable events in Sydney, Australia today:

1. Bondi Junction Stabbing Incident:
   • At least four people were killed, and there were reports of multiple stabbings at Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre. A female police officer reportedly shot a male offender who was armed with a large knife. There are unconfirmed reports of a second male offender at the scene. Terrorism links are being considered as a possible motive for the attack. Horrific footage and images have emerged on social media, showing trails of blood and injured victims 1.
   • Update: The NSW Police Assistant Commissioner is scheduled to hold a press conference at 5:45 pm AEST to provide further updates on the situation 2.
2. Sydney Floods:
   • Sydney has been lashed by torrential rains and flash floods. Tens of thousands of residents have been urged to evacuate their homes as floods continue to ravage eastern Australia. In the past fortnight, New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland have experienced heavy downpours that caused floods and resulted in the loss of 20 lives 3.

Please stay informed and take necessary precautions if you’re in the affected areas.

It’s been confirmed that six people have died, one of them the perpetrator.
Sorry to read about the flooding in the area - are they still in the summer months ( I know it’s summer at Christmas ) or are they heading into autumn - are the rains unusual ?

 

[Jay Ross]

The news reports and Police interviews have not provided enough factual information to determine or draw any conclusions. That may take a week or two before any real facts will be available.

What I can suggest is that people pray for the welfare of those who have become involved and that the Peace of God may be come real for them.

The normal rains for NSW happen in the winter months and up north the monsoon trough develops during the summer seasons. Cyclones usually get embedded within the low pressure troughs and it is possible for six or more cyclones to develop around the northern coastline.

This year the monsoon trough seems to have made its way all the way down to the NSW Vic border areas which has resulted in flooding rains for many months over this summer season.

When the Low pressure systems break off from the Australian eastern coast, they have tended to end up moving down towards NZ.

Sad news, the mother of the baby stabbed is one of the victims.

I see that a policewoman took down the knife wielding lunatic. Job well done! It's a good thing that at least cops in Australia are allowed to have guns. Not jumping to any conclusions, but I did read on Wikipedia that Jews can be found throughout the Greater Sydney area, although approximately two-thirds reside in the eastern suburbs, from Vaucluse, through Randwick, Bondi and Double Bay, to Darlinghurst-East Sydney, where many of the service organizations are located.

This mass stabbing attack took place at the Westfield Bondi Junction Shopping Centre in Sydney, Australia and the Westfield Bondi Junction Shopping Centre is a prominent retail destination located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia.

Suspect, not blame. Big difference.

And my point is an indictment against the propaganda media who downplay facts that don't fit the narrative, like not mentioning race or religion.

She's a North Islander:cool:
