As with some of our Canadian head cases, it appears that the perp here was in some part conditioned by the leftist victim-paradigm industry where the chattering classes plant various anti-social ideas wherever they wish, and then step away and claim no responsibility when a ticking time bomb goes off. Then they congregate on television to “explain” to us what we are seeing. Time that the ordinary citizens gave them the boot (the enablers and the professional victims alike) and denormalized their mindless babble.

Sad and furious about the apparent loss of innocent life, or even any injuries. But as a society we have brought this on ourselves to some extent by not rising up against these leftists in charge of the media and academic institutions. Those are the truly dangerous ones.

It looks dd from our limited vantage, I suspect that it all makes a lot more sense from the operator’s eye view. Wonder if we’ll ever see any Go-Pro or Bodycam of this. (Probably no)

Cynicism unintended. I expect and cheer the terrorist being ‘well ventilated’.

Aussie newsreaders are just as inane as Americans in such live coverage....

Just heard a babe “Words cannot describe...” Maybe she needs to study some vocabulary? Or get another job?

Just getting caught up...well they got the guy which we knew they would...it was a done deal for him from the get go. I understand someone or some tried to run and the gunman shot them which caused the special forces to then go in and get the guy...
