Australia is reacting to the Bondi Beach terror attack as predicted: they’re pushing more gun control again, and they’re refusing to blame radical Islam for the attack. The kicker is that’s exactly who’s to blame. Two men, father and son, Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram, opened fire on Jewish congregants who had gathered to celebrate Hanukkah on December 14. Fifteen people were killed, and at least 35 were wounded. Sajid was killed in the attack, while Naveed was wounded. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese claims neo-Nazis are a greater threat—these people are just unserious. To boot, the police response was reportedly shambolic, with officers freezing as shots were fired.
One survivor, Vanessa Miller, described her harrowing ordeal, where she was separated from her three-year-old daughter during the attack. Pinned down, she tried to reach for an injured officer’s firearm to defend herself, but police were more concerned about her getting that weapon than the terrorists. She cooked them during an interview on The Erin Molan Show:
These police officers were hiding behind a car... I tried to grab one of their guns. Another one grabbed me and said 'no.' I hope they are hearing this. You are weak. You could have saved so many more people’s lives. They were just watching this all happen, holding me back.”
It was confirmed that this was an ISIS-inspired attack.
What a mess.
Grabbing for a cop’s gun, even a woke, spineless, DEI one, is rarely welcomed by police.
Australian Police are trained to attack and destroy Citizens nothing else
Baffling? More like predictable.
Less guns in citizen’s hands mean more guns in terrorist(friends of government) hands
Have they come up with a motive yet?
Western nations are all showing weakness and surrender to the Islamo-terrorists.
Buyback the cops’ guns too Australia. They don’t know how or when to use them and wouldn’t even they did.
Come to Australia we will slip another Jew on the Bar be for ya
Non-cop Vanessa was ready to let fly with some lead.
Yet no such instinct seems to have been operative in any of the actual police officers present on the scene.
Did the entire law enforcement community in or around Uvalde, Texas all decide at some point after 2022 to up and move to Bondi Beach, Australia, and nobody noticed?
“Grabbing for a cop’s gun, even a woke, spineless, DEI one, is rarely welcomed by police.”
Going into a rifle fight with a pistol by an untrained person in a desperate mode is not going to result in a good outcome.
A cop had just been shot in the head and this cop threw his body over her to protect her.
He probably saved her life.
Aussies have to throw out the gun control laws that leave them defenseless. It’s common sense.
.
A cop doesn’t have to hit a terrorist in order to have a positive impact. All the cop needs to do is pin the terrorist down to save lives. Why no cops with rifles?
Let’s see...they had handguns, and a car for concealment/ cover. I say take a rest and squeeze off a few, but that’s me.
