Fun with live news threads, headline has changed at least 4 times now…
I’m heartened to see a Muslim man was a hero and wrestled a gun from one of these shitheads. I hope the one that survived the attack lives to face justice for his crimes.
Did they at least kick the shit out of him after disarming him?
Unfortunately no. The hero points the shotgun at the murderer but it appears he either didn’t know how to use it or wasn’t prepared to shoot someone. The murderer then runs over to his accomplice and picked up another gun. The video is on the publicfreakout subreddit if you want to see it.
Here in not-america we generally don’t kill people who are not an imminent threat, like someone who has been disarmed.
I’ve seen the video of the guy being disarmed and moving away towards the bridge, but not the part where he re-armed himself.
Even if, in this particular case, the perp did rearm and injured more people, our hesitance to shoot someone who is not an imminent threat has no doubt prevented the deaths of many thousands of people over the years.
America mention 🎉🎉🎉
(i think maybe you have unresolved issues you should work on)
Mate, everyone has unresolved issues they should work on.
It’s a BBC article posted about Australia posted in worldnews, you don’t need to bring America up. Bring on the downvotes, losers.
There’s some context here you might be missing.
The hero points the shotgun at the murderer but it appears he either didn’t know how to use it or wasn’t prepared to shoot someone.
There’s a third option that would be lost on Americans but obvious to everyone else: seeing that the attacker was no longer an imminent threat, the guy chose not to execute him.
The comment I replied to has a very American perspective, and its obvious to everyone who is not American.
Nothing in that article says this guy is muslim, you’re spreading misinformation about this man
No I’m not. Not my job to look up other sources for you, but here you go.
Once again, this article doesn’t show any evidence that this man is muslim. The headline is misleading and not supported at all in this article.
I feel like people like you are quickly making up assumptions about this man based solely on his name and using that assumption to push narratives. This man is a hero, no doubt, but I haven’t seen any actual evidence of his religious beliefs in any local or major media outlet.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right. A quick google search contained no information about his religion
Multiple outlets are reporting he’s a Muslim man. I’d imagine others are not as his religion isn’t exactly relevant to his being a hero.
They’re not reporting it because there’s no evidence regarding this man’s religious beliefs. You just went out of your way to find a couple of clickbait headlines without even bothering to read them to spread narratives. You’re a part of the problem.
‘We saw the actions of a brave man… a brave Muslim, and I salute him for stopping one of the terrorists from killing innocent Jews,’ the Prime Minister stated, as reported by the Times of Israel.
Kindly get off your high horse.
Media literacy is dead. People on here are willing to believe clickbait headlines and misinformation if it pushes a narrative they subscribe to.
It’s because the ‘people’ you are talking are either propagandists or bots.
lol yes I made this account years ago in preparation for an argument as stupid as this. You sound ridiculous.
the interview with him includes him praising Allah.
dude is Muslim. the only asshole making it a bad thing is you.
Israel instantly blaming it on australia. Wonder if israel is involved.
“the blood of the murdered is on the hands of the Australian government, which announced recognition of a ‘Palestinian’ state and gave legitimacy to terrorism against Jews.”
Israel is the nr1 cause of antisemitism around the world. But sure play the victim again. They also knew of the october 7th attacks and used it as an excuse to wipe out a country. So sorry if I am a little suspicious. They probably aren’t directly involved but are definitely the cause.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, but it should be obvious to anyone that the terrorist state of Israel will never accept any blame for painting targets on all the Jews around the world, because that would also be admitting to all the atrocities they carried out.
I suspect lemmy was invaded by Israeli bots to try and control all the antisemitism.
I think it’s more people don’t like the implication without any evidence that Israel is involved beyond fostering the conditions that have fanned the flames of global antisemitism.
I posted an unfounded comment in an untimely manner. It’s about the victims and I turned it political. I just posted it on an impulse.
If there’s a way to handle things incorrectly, Israel will find it.
Over 10 people were just murdered. Let’s go flame on Israel a bit because why the fuck not? Fucking idiot.
You’re right.
These two should have conducted their murders in a civilized way, like bombing people as they lay helpless in a hospital bed, or standing in line for food at a designated aid site.
Or, by blockading shipments of food so they just starve to death.
That’s the civilized, Israeli way to do murder.
You mean the same Israel that blames the Australian government? That Israel?
Why are Israel like this man. Like someone kills a load of people who either have connections to Israel or follow the same faith, a heinous and abhorrent act against innocent people.
Yet Israel has to come out and mention Palestine and blame Australia seemingly based on no evidence whatsoever.
If one’s things certain we can’t know who did this right now. The right have hated Israel and Jews for as far as I can remember and the left is pissed off at Israel and some will conflate Israel with Jews.
As an avid supporter of Palestine and critic and Israel I want to say that not all Jews are responsible for the acts of its government just as not all Palestinians are supporters of Hamas.
Zionism is literally all about driving a wedge between communities.
No
Well that settles it then.
Bro - people hated Jews 3 years ago. Source: antisemitic slurs from the person trying to kill me. I never say this shit but touch some grass or get into therapy.
Isreal’s genocide has dramatically changed opinions. I was always for Isreal; we American’s love an underdog! Yeah, no longer. Now I say that Israel has forfeited their right to exist.
Now imagine all the people who hate Jews as an extension of Israeli policy. Fuck me, people hated the man who played Joffrey on Game of Thrones and Rose from Star Wars! It’s less of a jump for such people to say, Israel evil -> Jews evil.
Bullshit. The number one cause of antisemitism is hateful assholes.
You are showing the abuser mentality by saying it’s someone else’s fault that abuse happens.
Stop rationalizing hatred. You’re part of the problem.
