Terrorist Attacks

Videos that show he was a “lone loony” and not a terrorist?

He was alone, it was unorganised, he behaved like a loony so yes plenty of evidence that the reasonable inference is that it wasn't terrorism related.
 
Well handled by the cops.

Dunno what to make of trolley man. Smart tactic but not sure he should have been involved at that point.

Agree, with cop comment pity they let this excuse raise his hand to them. He had a pretty clear intent from what I have seen on video.
As far as the trolley legend, some people see problems and act, others deny there is a problem and turn a blind eye. Thanks trolley man.
 
All you have to do is guess what date today is by numbers. Some fucknut wanted to create history....

Saying now that the man was known to ASIO and has died. So maybe terror related after all.

Yes looks like. Very sad for the victims of this.

Deport his relatives? I don't want them anywhere near here.

To where ToO? May very well be born and breed here. Terrible event nevertheless.

Could be worse however - terrorism by a mad white Christian running around blasting innocent college kids with fully automatic weapons.

No simply waiting for evidence rather than have a knee jerk reaction
No, you didn’t wait, you knee jerked in saying it wasn’t terrorism.

You really want to say I told you so don't you. I said it was a reasonable inference on the evidence at the time.

I never said I did know. You’re the one boasting you know.
 
Crazed Looney with links going off solo and loony is a loony to me.

The prick that did the coffee shop in Sydney was a crazed Looney and despite how hard he tried to make it look like terrorism, it was ultimately 1 guy acting alone.
