Thread: A sad day for Melbourne yesterday

I heard about this yesterday, Geraldton is my home town.
Most of the perpetrators were from the Eastern States though.

Despite attempts by certain people in authority to sugar coat it, Saeed Noori is a terrorist, pure and simple. He set out to kill and maim people using a vehicle and also terrorising other people in the vicinity. Australia took him in as a refugee fleeing from Afghanistan and this is how he repays our kindness. Give me a break. Australian diggers are over in Afghanistan fighting ISIS and other groups and doing the job this mongrel should have been doing rather than fleeing to Australia.

Our troops are fighting and dying in Afghanistan and he comes out here and does THIS. I don't care if he is on ice and has mental problems, how DARE he repay our kindness by taking him in and offering him security and a future in this great country by virtually spitting in our face.

His country of origin IS relevant. He has left his country because he's too scared to stand up and fight for HIS cause. He has been offered safe refuge here whilst our brave Servicemen and women fight on his behalf. We are repayed with a cowardly attack on babes, the very elderly and other soft non-combatants.
If he does hold dual citizenship, strip him of the Australian one and don't waste time with criminal proceedings. Charter a plane to return him to his country of origin. Don't bother with landing permission, don't bother with landing, just kick him out on the way over.

i'm glad we hold "innocent until proven guilty" in such high regards.

i'm glad this tragedy brings out the worst in us.

do you think your plan of action will stop the next one from doing the same?

This vermin was caught red handed So there is NO doubt about his guilt whatsoever, His "innocent until proven guilty" status is a mere formality.
Maybe its because what he did is considered to be completely reprehensible by the vast majority of people that they want to have him punished severely and rightly so.
Maybe the politically correct and civil libertarians will want to find some way to minimise the punishment handed out But the vast majority want justice served to its full here.
In many parts of the world this bloke would have been torn apart on the spot for this cowardly attack, Including his country of origin

NO it's about "Justice" and the rule of law, Nothing more and nothing less.
Punishment for these types of crimes Has to be swift and severe to act as a deterrent to others.

I do like your MCG idea though

that's not justice.
and deterrents don't work.


instead of acting barbaric and being short sighted, we should be fixing the system to prevent this from happening again.

who am i kidding, the justice system doesnt work.
