    Stabbing rampage in Sydney CBD. Passers by restrained knife man before being arrested.

    Channel Seven news crew passing by saw it and started filming it. Repeated maybe 10 minutes of news from before 3 o’clock to 5 o’clock.

    This only shows how important gun control is. Imagine if he had been armed with a gun instead of a knife. One of the bystanders who brought him down was armed with a chair, another with a milk crate.

    Two women were stabbed, one dying due to stab wounds and her neck being sliced. That one was a sex worker. No motive yet but the guy escaped from a mental hospital.

    True. There is a meme going around social media about this. The whole situation is rather horrible. I feel sorry for the young lady's family & friends, who was died. I shared it - not knowing the full story.

    Jones is a complete prick.

    There was an interesting article about our PM on the SMH yesterday. Sick of him already. Stuck with this moron for the next few years.

    That would be harder now - as he would need 67% of the Liberals to agree with him.

    so the parrot has been given his final warning by 2GB management over his comments about Jacinda Arden.

    It would be nice if the rancid blowhard disppeared into obscurity but given his ratings appeal whether another outlet would be willing to chance it (hell just about froze over before sky got rid of latham and a couple of others).

    Maybe old Alan was projecting madly that day, and he likes stuff in his throat

    Oh my.... I was half expecting the reverse. Well seems the justice system does work sometimes.

    It is amazing that the money can be found for the likes of Pell but the victims get so little.

    Sure, for three years or so. :mad:
    Would it be horrible of me to say, "Hopefully three years is all he has left."?

    I dunno. I think it's a good decision, but my son made the point that maybe Pell didn't actually do what he is accused of, but is paying for the definite coverup of other priests, which I have zero problem with. Then again, the reviewing judges still came down on it, so maybe he did do it. I always question myself over decisions like this, since the media convinced me Lindy Chamberlain did it (I was young and naive).
