Look! *I* didn’t know they were letting Catholic nuns grow beards.../save>
Only if it was a self-driving car. In reality, it was an out-of-control driver.
“Police have arrested the driver of the car”...
... and his name is...?
“’At this stage we believe it is a deliberate act, however we do not know the motivation,’ Commander Russell Barrett (pictured) said”
Uh-huh.
Sure Looks like a Muhammad snackbar to me.
“THE man who ploughed into a Melbourne crowed injuring 14 people is a 32-year-old man with a history of drug use and mental illness, police have confirmed.
The Australian citizen was driving alone when he crashed into pedestrians at high-speed outside Flinders Street Station on Thursday afternoon around 4:45pm.
Police said he has been taken to hospital in the “fluid investigation” that is still unfolding.
The man is known to them for “historical assault matters” but is not currently on bail. Police understand he has a “history of drug use as well as mental health issues.”
“We understand that he is on a mental health plan and receiving treatment for a mental illness,” Acting Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said. “We’re working to clarify that.”
The incident is not being treated as a terror investigation, despite being supported by counter terrorism teams.
Commissioner Patton said “obviously this is an horrific incident,” however police believe it is “quarantined to singular incident and we’re exploring the extent of that.”
It is 10.10pm here in Melbourne. I doubt any more information will be released tonight.
DUI
Driving Under Islam.
“historical assault matters”, history of “mental health issues.”
Pretty well sums up islam.

Melbin, then.
>>An out-of-control car
implies driver was NOT in control, not that the driver deliberately drove into people to cause carnage and chaos
Barely listening to Fox n friends, but i thought i heard them say the guy was an afghan. Then i heard teason as “unknown” from the Aussies.
Look at the beard. Obviously Amish.
Oh boy.
Yes, it does appear he’s originally from Afghanistan. That is being reported in the Australian press.
“Authorities remain baffled...”
He’s an Afghan so a Muslim
You win.
