Thread: Melbourne Bourke Street in lockdown

So I read he shot his brother earlier in the day and has a criminal history. Not a terrorist attack, thankfully.

It would be far more effective to tell the 'civil libertarian brigade' to bugger off...and let our police operate without one hand tied behind their backs. Lowlifes like this would be stopped before they have the chance to hurt innocent people...oops what was I thinking....oh but they have rights...

Yeah. That works until one of your own is caught up in it. What Magistrate allowed this grub out on bail?

Once he became a huge risk to the public that should untie their hands for lethal force...

The video of him doing circlwork outside Young and Jacksons is a hoot. Would have been a laugh if he hadn't done hat he did after.

Stabbed.

From Coober Pedy, had seen him around when working up there - was on the watch list for being a problem..

The sooner the general public accepts the notion that when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, the sooner we'll have greater public support for police to do their jobs in times like this. Rather than turn and blame the cops who's hands are tied by ****ty legislation that the people demanded, let them deal proactively with situations like this (I've seen the video of him at the intersection, and I can tell you I'd have introduced him to my bullbar exceptionally quickly in such a situation), the better off we will be a society. I'm about as left as they come but it's time for
People to wake up and realise the ugly truth; there ARE evil people in the world who WILL do evil things, and they cannot be cured with a hug. For every low life using their situation as an excuse, there's 50 others who get over it and make something positive of their life.

Totally agree....Shoot first, ask questions later.....

Moving target with only service pistols......Empty a mag into the car. I was only wondering around those streets and fed square last week, didn't see any sniper hanging around to take somebody out.
