Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #2 – January 20, 2017, 05:18:44 pm My office is in the CBD blocks away from the scene, suffice to say it was utter pandemonium. Coppers could have done us all a favour and put one between the scum bags eyes.
Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #3 – January 20, 2017, 05:31:36 pm What a terrible experience for folk going about their business or enjoying a day in the city!By all accounts the police did a great job bringing the incident to an end but not before loss of life, including a young child, and serious injuries. Members of the public stepped up and offered assistance to the injured. Well done to them.I was pleased to hear from my son who works in the city but other folk will not have been so fortunate. My thoughts are with those who were injured or who lost loved ones.
Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #4 – January 20, 2017, 06:45:22 pm We all know many people who work/go to the city. Most of us are very fortunate today that these people weren't injured or killed. Unfortunately there have been many lives changed for the much worse today through no fault of their own.A moment of reflection, listening to Nina Simone's version of You'll Never Walk Alone, loud (with earphones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElwCOX3AiIs is my offering of solace and hope to everyone above, as well as thanks to all the great people who helped others in their time of need.
Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #5 – January 20, 2017, 09:37:30 pm Another scumbag out on bail (bailed last Sat) despite police pleas to have him remanded in custody according to the HS. Those poor families, lives changed forever in a senseless act of violence.
Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #6 – January 20, 2017, 10:07:05 pm I'm struggling to comprehend thd magnitude of this heinous crime. Simply unimaginable. What was going through the driver's mind..... My thoughts are with the many family's affected by this tragedy.

Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #10 – January 21, 2017, 07:14:46 am How people like this are allowed to walk around with the general public really astounds me. I've been trying not to read about it as i heard a young child was killed at the hands of this drug-induced, psychotic lunatic and i can honestly say my stomach is churning right now.Those poor families.

He was shown more compassion than he gave the strangers he attacked in a few minutes of vile madness.

Coppers could have done us all a favour and put one between the scum bags eyes.Trouble is they get drawn and quartered if they open fire without due cause, and the way the legal eagles have twisted the rights of the criminal that basically comes after the event! Of course, how is shot first ask questions later balanced!My son works in the CBD off Williams St, my elderly mother in law was at home and saw this story unfold in real time on the TV. She nearly collapsed, the media have a lot to answer for, it's the cameras and the internet that promotes this sort of act.To think this nutter was in his car harassing reporters who were at the scene of his earlier alleged stabbing murder of his brother. Then they filmed him doing doughnuts in the very middle of Melbourne surrounded by police officers and pedestrians. Yet the police cannot act with force despite the fact his actions were already endangering the public.But if you want to know were all this started, we need to go back to privatisation and the closure of mental health facilities during the Kennett government era. People like this use to be in the asylums for their own and everyone else's protection. I agree they have rights, but the rest of the population does as well! Closing the asylums and putting dangerous mentally ill individuals into community care has let the genie out of the box.Police worry about radicals, but the rest of us should fear the copy cat nutters!As for the politicians fixing the problem, with ar5ewipes like this in charge, what hope do we have?Quote from: David LeyonhjelmAs news began to break of the attack that has already claimed three lives, Senator Leyonhjelm took to twitter in response to a Herald Sun update to say: “Probably one of those semi-automatic assault cars.”Follow David Leyonhjelm ✔ @DavidLeyonhjelmProbably one of those semi-automatic assault cars. 1:54 PM - 20 Jan 2017205 Retweets 364 likesThe comment drew almost universal condemnation, with many social media users criticising the politician for the tasteless remark.Think about those 364 "Likes", 364 more potential nutters with guns or cars!

Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #13 – January 21, 2017, 09:59:14 am Why is our legal system so soft and inadequate?Regardless of how many poor innocent citizens die as a result of letting these scumbags back into society YET those directly responsible are never ever held accountable and protected. Its a bloody joke!I don't get it - Its pretty obviously 99% of voters would support much tougher bail conditions with some sort of accountability to the judge who allows these high risk offenders out and then re offends. Why doesn't it change?
Re: Melbourne CBD Incident Reply #14 – January 21, 2017, 12:03:00 pm Are we not running out of space to put criminals? Hence why more get released than should.
