Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Mass Stabbing in Sydney Australia

I just opened it. Worked for me. At least one guy down under has some balls.

Ron

Yeah Ron but it didn't sound like he was an aussie.

Watching the men run away makes me shake my head. It seems that Australia has a serious lack of men!

Proof you don’t need a gun!!! The police will take care of you…..eventually…

This. Dont let the "fight back" go viral on social media.

Must remain helpless.

Must.

Yep, if every able bodied male grabbed chairs/flower pot/sign/stick/rock and rushed the stabber- throw whatever at him. He'll have to react to it- tackle him- control the knife- and kick him in the face until the cops get there.

That’s exactly what I said to my wife. I’d send her and the kids to safety while I grabbed a clothes rack or whatever. I’m not running away, I’m running towards danger!

LIKE- that's exactly the way every MAN should think !!!!!

I’ve never ran from anything, you advance and figure out how to attack, that’s what us 50’s born were taught.

so men and I use that term loosely ran from defending women and children??? If that’s the case, that is truly pathetic.

You can never know for certain until it's actually put to the test. My thinking has been greatly influenced by what my son told me about his service in Iraq. Battalion XO of an Army NG unit that saw lots of action. Said you never know how someone will react until the metal starts flying. He saw "badasses" curl up in a fetal position, and the scared skinny kid come through. In general, he had little regard for a certain armed "profession". Acknowledged that these are generalities, with exceptions.

On a personal note, I know my values, know what I think and hope I would do, but admit I can't predict for certain. At my age I hope I make it through whatever is left of my life without being put to that test. Peace.

Absolutely. Also remember that people who buy guns illegally ain't going to anymore because President senile old fool issued a new order,

I saw a pic on ABC News, the psycho was riding up on the escalator, you can see the big knife in his right hand. At the top of the escalator stood a civilian, he had a four foot long flower pot made of metal, something like that, heavy and 4 feet long, and he was waiting on Psycho and going to attack him then and there. I don't know what happened there, the news caster didn't explain and it was a still photo not video.

So, at least one man had the guts to confront the Psycho.

I guess I was wrong, or not completely right, anyway. Sounds like a deranged nut job.

So that means he was a queer, that had mental problems, I thought they all had something wrong mentally, so now we have all the different Arabs, illegal’s , hood rats, gage bangers Mex. And queer’s that claim to be trans. It’s coming!!!!

as long as everyone involved was vaccinated then all is good

in the real world, that fkr should be bleeding out from 15 bullet holes in his useless carcass

Absolutely!

Some of you blokes are just too ready to jump in, in complete ignorance of the facts, to let your prejudices have full rein. I thought it was only the left which would seek to capitalise on tragedies to make petty political points.

There's just so much nonsense to wade through. It wasn't a terrorist event. The bloke wasn't a Muslim. He was an Australian, with a history of mental illness, and according to his parents and some of the women he dated, socially inept and desperate for a relationship - an incel in other words.

Self defence isn't illegal here. The men didn't all run away - several confronted him, while others helped women and children to safety. Those who confronted him are being hailed for it, not criticised. Would you armchair heroes have done any better?

Yes, people don't carry here. But they never did. People in Australia didn't routinely go armed even when it was legal. Australia is a safe place - crime rates are low and have steadily been dropping for decades. And incidents like this are vanishingly rare. I remember well the last time there was a mass killing in a shopping centre, because I was there - and it was 33 years ago. It was the first time too. However as this and the other stabbing this week have demonstrated, that doesn't mean we are cowards - people will step up nonetheless, and confront evildoers.

I don't need to be lectured or sneered at about our gun laws either. Especially by those who have no clue what they are. I lived through all of what followed Port Arthur, and I don't agree with much of what changed. However, I quite like living in a country where people don't generally feel the need to go armed to do the shopping.

Well, that clears up a few things.
