Karen Webb, the Police Commissioner, missing in action yet again. Probably just as well, her communication skills are guaranteed to make things worse.
Just Thursday just gone I was muttering to wifey about two police strolling into a roadside eatery with pistols on their hips. Having been targeted by a sh*thead cop during the batflu fascism, it still bugs me… but incidents like Bondi Jcn today make me a bit reticent.

“2024. Russia held scheduled presidential elections, Ukraine did not.”
Well yes, but St Volodymyr the Pure had to ban elections, ….., to “protect” democracy.
In much the same way, that he had to imprison his political opponents, shut down media that did not fawn over him and loot the Orthodox Church, after shutting it down.
St Volodymyr is a man of the people. Not the Ukrainian people, of course, but of the people, who are running the show.
The Ukrainians are just the fools who do the dying.
Much the same will happen in the US later in the year.
The Irishman, Oh-Bummer and the rest of Biden’s deadshit handlers know full well they cannot even steal the 2024 election, so, ….., it will be “postponed”, to …… protect democracy, of course.
Reference the disgusting events in Sydney, I would hope, that all Cats take a moment and pray, or at least give some thought to, the families of those innocents, who have been affected by the actions of some deranged lunatic and the unforgivable policies, of the Australian Parliament, since 1975, that has caused this abomination to occur.
What a shameful bunch of traitorous dogs our politicians have been, for 50 years.
Never forget what these pieces of shit have done and when the time comes, act accordingly!
By chance I called my Walgett client to see how planting is going for them. They were worriedly waiting for news of their son who thankfully missed being in the area by less than five minutes.
A school friend ( as in another parent from children’s school) gave first aid to one of the victims and is now through the first bottle of wine dealing with the shock.
The obvious answer here is that all shopping centres of any significant size (stuff the little towns – we don’t care about those people) ONLY admit individuals who scan their digital id. That way the new Ministry of Public Safety can monitor the movements of those who have been identified by trusted media outlets as far right wing extremists, and block their entry to communal spaces if necessary (for the safety of normals, of course).
Great to see the bloke who turned and put his arms out to block and protect a woman and three children walking away. Whether they’re his family or strangers, he stood up when needed.
Well done that man.

There is a planned rally for tomorrow morning at 10.00 a.m. at Martin Place…..to cry and shout to….
LET MY PEOPLE GO
To free the hostages, those that remain alive that is.
The rally was planned weeks ago. I have just received an email stating that despite the horrific events at Bondi Junction, tomorrow’s rally will proceed.
Good, we will not flinch in the face of terror.

Where was the NSW Police Commissioner tonight? Assistant Commissioner Cooke fronted the press conference in her place and was clearly in distress, but he handled it.

On outsiders tomorrow morning, Rowan Dean needs to go seriously nookular about this latest moozley atrocity, perpetrated as it was well within the (supposedly sacred) walls of smug upper middle class western wallies and karens.
Reminder – I do not want to share a country, let alone a planet, with evil inbred moozley savages, Cats.
HOP Time™ – to describe its glorious implementation as long overdue would be stating the bleeding obvious, my good friends.
So let’s do it.
I believe that’s the general sentiment among St. Petersburgers who remember what Putin stole from them in the early ’90s.
Any reports of “Allan’s Snackbar” being yelled.
I would think that’s something SM would be spreading already if it was heard.
They are such tewwible tewwible peoples, I tells ya! 😕
On Friday the Oz reported how Sleazy the Slusher has declined, on more than one occasion, to visit Central Synagogue to talk to the Jewish community.
Perhaps he will now? Ahh…don’t be silly, Cassie.

Clueless.

Commissioner to be briefed as investigation intensifies
Yoni Bashan
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb is yet to make any public remarks on the mass stabbing event in Bondi Junction but is being briefed on developments from senior officers this evening.
Ms Webb was known to have attended Randwick Racecourse on Saturday as a guest of Racing NSW chief executive Peter V’Landys. The commissioner is understood to have left the function during the afternoon but was notably absent during a press conference held outside Waverley Police Station around 6pm.
An official with knowledge of the Randwick event said the commissioner “left early”. The police briefing was provided by Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke, commander of the Central Metropolitan Region, which takes in the suburb where the stabbing occurred.
A/C Cooke ended the press conference after numerous questions, citing a need to brief the police executive, which includes Ms Webb, on the information at hand.
It’s bad enough seeing Catherine King polluting the Ballarat Show or pretty boy Sam Rae turning up at the Blackwood wood chopping two weeks ago.
While it is great that the female Copper put down the turd, she was simply doing her job.
Bollard Man is singularly responsible for saving countless children from an outcome that does not bear thought.
Nine reporting there are now 8 dead including the scumbag and the mother of the stabbed baby.
Which collectivists will now use against him, as below:
“The mass murderer went all fatally stabby in Westfield Bondi Junction due to Dr Mutton’s anti moozley pronouncements, we tells ya!”
How this deliberately engineered atrocity helps collectivists or moozleys sell themselves or their equally ridiculous causes to the populace remains to be seen.
In the meantime, burial preparations will shortly commence for the latest victims of moozleyism.
Thanks, albansleazey, pong and minns, you evil deadsh*ts! 😡
Bungo’s right.
I don’t actually give a damn if the bloke was or was not a mooslie, islander, incel, crackhead, crackers, whatever.
What we need is the unrestricted right to carry arms.
Wouldn’t it be good if the ventilated scum was not mentioned in the same paragraph as the victims.

Good grief. What does her former job have to do with this? She is a nasty cretin.
Narcissistic personality disorder. Interesting that the Wikipedia article about Daniel has a pic of her with that old McPhee creep. I’ve detested McPhee for decades. They used to call him closet labor.
Six dead…..well, seven if you include the terrorist cockroach but I won’t dignify the cockroach. I don’t care he’s dead….GOOD.
Watching the footage with my mother who in between yelling ‘cockroach’ at the television and sipping whisky says how it is interesting that when the footage of the terrorist cockroach is shown, he seems desperate to get up the escalators, to go up….to where? Well, to where the children are, there’s a children’s playground on the third floor. As Mum says, it is like he wanted to go up to the children’s playground, there’s a children’s play area on level 5.

What a train wreck presser by Karen Webb. The offender hasn’t been identified but is a 40yo male who is “known to police.”
Sack her now.
Can anyone post the piece by Janet A in the Oz?
Looking at you ZK2A – again 🙂
The supposed “civil contract” is cactus, Cats.
Feel free to make your own arrangements.
This is what anarcho-tyranny looks like, Cats.
The state cares more about the killer than his hapless victims. 😡
Karen Webb?
Why is this hermaphrodite even allowed to wear a uniform.
Especially in public.
When it finally turns up at a presser scratching its Nobby’s it’s a fcuking embarrassment.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/muslim-refugee-stabs-70-year-old-british-man-to-free-palestine/
Since the killer is known to the police what confirmation are they waiting for? Fingerprints? I suppose all will be revealed when we are told his name.
Channel 7 reporterette mentioned that there is speculation the killer is from Campsie. If true I can see why Commissoner Webb is at pains to assure the state this has nothing to do with ideation which she then clarified further not terrorism-connected. As I commented earlier, his name will tell us more than any of their assurances.
Paul Wallee and Joolz
The original and the best, Cats! 🙂
“Known to police”
You get the feeling some ocean going arse covering may be incoming.
😕
Cats, if there’s a non collectivist as cool as Paul Wallee in his pomp, then it might be time to invent one.
Like, appealing to da ya yoof and all that, I tells ya! 😕
Cops would know the murderer’s name by now. The fact that it hasn’t been released yet could only mean a muzzo attack. If his name was Jack Smith it would’ve been out by now.
They knew it moons ago, JC – “known to police”
And subsequently, eight people have been murdered.
Grate work, knobheads.
For the eight victims – may you enjoy this in full magnificence …
Returned from a day of outdoor pursuits to see events in Sydney.
Several points, headlined by this from the Tele:
Entirely fair enough. Shouldn’t have even needed to say that. See threat. Eliminate threat. The End. The ‘put it down’ is (apparently) a sop to the Coroner, so they can say they gave him a chance.
In recent years, or so I have heard, there has been a marked change in doctrine – sparked by shithouse US responses to active shooters in Broward County in Florida, and at the Texas school in Uvalde County. It’s not ‘wait for the ninja turtles’ any more, it’s (allegedly) ‘charge in, stop the killing and stop the dying’. This is to be applauded and should also be kept separate from the nufferverse’s ‘oh but they now have M4s to put us all in Death CamPs’ narrative.
Ordinary jacks have shooters. Occasionally, and particularly in the current climate they use them – despite complaints from dickheads about jacks packing heat while walking down the street or getting a coffee after 12 straight hours of getting yelled at by bogans. No, I am not unconditionally backing the jacks in their endeavours – but this is why they carry all the time.
If this had happened in jolly old Blighty, and unless there was a bloke with a narwhal tusk to put a stop to it the death toll may have tripled.
This dude may well be a Pali sympathiser or close to it, and was gutless enough to not bother to actually head over to Gaza and kick things off over there. However, and yes it is too early to tell, it is entirely possible he was one of the myriad of nuffies let onto the streets by repeated government failure to control their legions of Radio Rental people because it costs less to keep them on the street.
Every single derro on any CBD street has the potential to do exactly what this chap did today in Sydney.
Finally, Webb is a basket case with no communications skills, inspires nobody and should be immediately shunted into a one-bedder in Katoomba with a blanket over her legs so she can watch her stories on the picture wireless and stay warm, while an actual copper runs the joint.
My big story today was that I manned polling booths for the Libertarian Party in the Cook by-election.
But that don’t amount to a hill of beans now.
Yeah, no. Thanks for devaluing the lives of those deliberately slaughtered by a moozley with malice a forethought.
My news feed does not even mention the Bondi atrocity.
Looking elsewhere the usual media crap of lone wolf, motives unknown, no further threat to the public bullshit predominate.
This was a muslim attack. We are at war. Our leaders are traitors and quislings.
“Known to police” = “Out on bail”
Perhaps Commissioner Webb was a bit tired snd emotional after a day at the races …

Okay, righto. But I will tell you now that the comment I made is absolutely accurate. Every single derro is liable to do that, should the combo of ice and fortified wine tip them over.
I am NOT saying it is not a terrorist attack. There is saying in certain circles that before you nail your colours to the mast on any subject, you go through an ABC process:
A – Ask questions.
B – Believe nothing.
C – Check everything.
In any event, since you seem to be one of those people who complains about the MSM yet soaks up everything it feeds you – here’s this, a couple of minutes ago from the Tele:
‘Mental issues’ is a catch-all. ‘Rough sleeper’ is not.
Good adventure.

‘Unhelpful to speculate’: PM, police chiefs, say Bondi motive unknownBy David CroweUpdated April 13, 2024 — 8.20pmfirst published at 8.18pm
Listen to this article
5 min
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has warned against speculation about the motive for the brutal killings at a Sydney shopping centre when the location and nature of the crime is fuelling talk of a terror attack.
Albanese has urged Australians to avoid making assumptions about the motive for the attacks after he was briefed by security and police chiefs about the investigation into the identity of the attacker, who was shot dead at the scene.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is speaking after five people were stabbed to death and eight injured at a Bondi Junction shopping centre.
The prime minister made the comments after being briefed by Australian Federal Police chief Reece Kershaw and Australian Security Intelligence Organisation director-general Mike Burgess about the attacks any other danger to the public.
Albanese called the police officer who shot the assailant a hero for going alone to save lives, while he also praised the doctors, nurses, paramedics and bystanders who responded to the emergency.
“For these Australians, their first instinct in the face of danger was to help someone else,” he said.
“That is what we hold on to tonight as Australians. That’s confirmation of who we are: brave, strong, together.”

Sydney stabbing: Ash Good identified as victim of fatal attack at Bondi JunctionNatalie WolfeThe West Australian
Sat, 13 April 2024 8:20PM
Hours before her life was cruelly taken from her in a Sydney shopping centre, new mum Ash Good was posting a video to her Instagram of her nine-month-old baby Harriet smiling in her car seat.
The sun beams on the little girl’s face as she nibbles on a piece of bread and the song My Girl by The Temptations plays.
“I’ve got sunshine, on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May,” the band sings.
Less than eight hours later, Ms Good and Harriet were shopping in Westfield Bondi Junction, in Sydney’s east, when a man armed with a hunting knife launched a violent stabbing attack through the shopping centre.
Horrified witnesses spoke of how the 40-year-old attacker, shot dead by police on Saturday afternoon, targeted Harriet and then turned on Ms Good, stabbing her as well.
In a final act of heroism, Ms Good ran to two brothers in the shop and begged them to take her baby. They used clothes from the nearby racks to try and stem the bleeding on both the mother and daughter but Ms Good’s injuries were too severe.
She died in St Vincent’s Hospital on Saturday night at the age of 38.
err, WTF?
albanzleazey, pong and minns, come on down, you pieces of shit.
My Goil … 🙂
How does anyone stab a mother and a baby?
Wallopers still not identifying POS Bondi stabber who was known to them.
Indeed, JC – good luck explaining it. Biblical stuff and not in a good way.
And yes, Cats, I’m not a person of the Book.
So stop all of your sobbing, it’s time to toughen up. 🙂
Cats – we won’t kneel, we tells ya! 🙂

Speculation at the moment that the Straits of Hormuz may be closed.
Probably a touch early to definately say it’s a weird beard attack.

Either way, the lady copper did extremely well, as did the dude at the top of the escalator.
Based on the little info available it does look like women/ kids as the targets of choice.
One query, if people go to the synagogue would they drop kids off there while service is on???
You can talk about terrorist peoples, cats, all you like – but this goes out to Miss Amy:

Speculate away if you feel like it, but I think he would attack the ex lover and child not complete strangers, let alone many of them.
Best wait and see.
Perhaps if, having flipped his switch to a ‘kill the bitch’ frenzy, he went on to kill any women who were handy, & pretty much ignored any blokes he encountered.
Toured the Gov’ner’s residence today. Nice digs. No Ikea furniture. The staff/helpers were very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed.
I hope the husband/boyfriend of the lady cop who shot the evil bastard gives her a special hug tonight and tells her he’s proud of her. Along with most of Australia.

Heartbroken this morning. Had tickets to David Williamson play in Sydney last night. Everyone sombre and in shock.
In awe of the courage of bollard man & others. Also of the lady cop who did her job with such determination and courage.
Want the name of the assassin to be announced. Instinct that the dark deed is related to the evil that we know the name of.
Now seeing the footage of the initial attacks. Great heroism from bystanders. Some pursued him. Vision of lady cop running after him determined to stop him.
Seeing a ma with a little kid or kids is one of the most beautiful, joyful sights.
You know what rumours are flying around twitter.

Iran Launches Drone Swarm at IsraelDrone swarm is expected to reach the country overnight, an Israeli official confirmed
A barrage of drones was launched from Iran to Israel on Saturday, setting up a direct military confrontation between the two countries that threatens to spiral into a regional war.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Iran launched drones from within its territory toward Israel late Saturday night. The miliary “is on high alert and is constantly monitoring the operational situation.”
President Biden rushed back to the White House on Saturday to meet with his national security team, as U.S. officials braced for a possible Iranian military strike.
Exactly how and when Iran might retaliate, after an attack in Syria in which it says Israel killed one of its top generals, is up to Tehran. But some U.S. officials expressed worry about a phased attack involving drones and ballistic missiles that could begin under cover of darkness.
The White House said Biden was cutting short a weekend trip to Rehoboth Beach, Del., and would meet with his national-security team in Washington “about events in the Middle East.” A U.S. official said the subject was Iran.
The report is from the WSJ.
It has started?

Re. yesterday’s stabbings, the question I have is where were all the security personnel hired by the stores, shopping centre management?
I’m not sure what unarmed store security could do. Are they trained to deal with armed attackers or prevent shoplifting and direct traffic?
Terror expert Greg Barton is saying it doesn’t look politically motivated because he didn’t post anything on internet! Well, really?
in any case, the episode is also dangerous because it may well inspire the loonies who were screaming at the Opera House to do copycat stuff.
Some questions about the “random” attacker.
Is he a local or did he travel to Bondi? Why Bondi?
Where did he hide the knife?
Why did he go in, scope the place, then return with the knife?
Who has he been associating with in the past month or so?
Why did he target women and children and shy away from men?
Another question.
Why so few beat police in or around one of Sydney’s busiest shopping centres?
Lucky we’ve got a perfesser to put u right (not). Dons are a menace.
Sounds like it has.
Live updates: Iran began UAV attack on Israel (Arutz Sheva, 13 Apr)
This’d suggest there will be a wave of missiles as well, launched later to coincide with the arrival of the drones.
world-renowned expert on terrorism and violent extremism, Professor Greg Barton has long been the media’s go-to researcher for insight on why terrorism exists and how we can prevent it.
Shopping centre security were conspicuous by their absence, at least in the images made public. I hadn’t even thought of it until reminded just now. As to what could they do when unarmed, there was film of one guy grabbing a white plastic chair and sallying forth.
It is possible that there were only a couple of shopping centre security staff on duty and therefore they were calling police and appraising them of the situation before they could do much else.
A big chunk of airspace has been turned into unfriendly skies.
Great questions, Calli.
You should have been a reporter.
?
Lady Plod Inspector doing her job. Decisive. Has proved doing her job is not about her but the job. Must make her qualified for Commissioner. Karen Webb didn’t make 6pm media update. Missing in action. Wonder what was more important? Must have been waiting for her spin doctor, oh wait.
And a couple of cruise missiles.
Looks like the Daily Express was on the money.
https://twitter.com/DocumentIsrael/status/1779242998263427425?t=W4g0CDyy9abZUHkXHfzvoA&s=19
This will depress shopping in person even further. If the big shopping centre are not made secure they will disappear.
I don’t know about Westfield but my observation of store security is Indians checking receipts at JBHIFi, watching for shoplifters at Coles and nice girls who help you find lost grandchildren.
I don’t expect them to rush in to tackle men wielding big knives.
There were a couple of men who got in his way, how it should be.
Now hoping Israel shoot down the cruise missiles, destroy the drones when they arrive and Iran gets its arm twisted to return the ship they pirated.
Westfield Bondi Junction is my local shopping centre.
I would only go there on average once a week and rarely at peak times.
Never on weekend unless it’s to go to Coles bright & early.
You do see security often at the Oxford street entrances on either side of Oxford street, under where you saw those glassed in walkways that go over the street.
But as I’m not there at peak times, I have zero idea of how much security is there then.
You often see plod walking around the street mall a block away (towards town).
There’s always a few street people walking around there.
If the big shopping centre are not made secure they will disappear.
I think people like an outing too much- I would expect Highpoint to be chock-a-block again today.
I have made this comment at C.L.’s blog as well, I don’t think the killer was spaced out on drugs. Wouldn’t he be in a frenzy, stabbing everyone in sight? From the images shown he seemed to steer clear of large, imposing males. Going for soft targets like women and children was his aim.
Iran Launches Test Attack with Slow Drones
Iran has launched a drone attack on Israel that appears to be testing Israel’s defenses. The IDF has stated that it would take hours for the drones to even reach the country. Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was prepared for a ‘“direct attack from Iran.” Tehran confirmed the action, with Iranian state TV reporting: “A significant drone operation by the IRGC against targets inside occupied territories has started.” Biden was called back from Delaware where he hides 40% of the time.
These Iranian drones are slow-moving. Iran’s defense ministry announced the start of mass production of drones in 2018, named the Mohajer-6 tactical and combat unmanned aerial vehicle. Their drones began back in the 1980s, but they were used for surveillance at that time. This appears to be a test of Israeli’s defenses rather than a serious attack since they are slow-moving and would provide Israel with ample warning.

I’ve heard it mentioned that the killer was from Queensland so why was he known to NSW police? Is that another misdirection ploy?
Don’t know about security numbers in the big shopping centres like Bondi Junction but the one next door to me, a Stocklands and about an 1/8th of the size of Bondi, has 3 security on during the day & 2 overnight (closed) .. one from each shift to watch monitors & the others to patrol ……
Known to police? so the name of the monster is known? why isn’t the name released andevery skerrick of information known to police? The public has a right to know.

I saw a report, last night, that said Campsie & known to plod ….
Has NSWPlod revealed who is the lone wolf of no apparent motivation but they know it is not terrorism ‘so there’ to all you racist bogans who say it was.
IIRC it was the same shopping centre where a few years ago, at Christmas time, an elderly man, shopping there, went through the wrong door and despite searches of the shopping centre was not found — quite a few weeks later they found him dead in a stairwell, died of asphyixiation, dehydration and malnutrition. Great security and police work.
I have a question, a pretty basic question actually. We learn that the ‘perp’ was known to police, so my question is…..
What is his name?
I ask this question because who else here thinks, as I do, that if the perp’s name was Bruce McDonald or Jason King, known to police as a member of a ‘far-right’ North Shore white supremacist group, the name would have already been released to the public?
Rejected asylum seeker revenging on Australians is certainly a possibility.
Two faces of NSW Police:
The lady Inspector who gave the loony an instruction and, when he did not comply, punctuated her sentence with a full stop to his chest.
Then we have the ducking and covering to avoid being straight with information.
one of these will win support for the Police – make up for some of the goodwill squandered during coof – and the other convinces people that the police are not interested in their welfare (well, they have many other priorities first).
Bunch of slow cheap drones to empty the Iron Dome magazines, some cruise missiles in case they kept some back and then the ballistic missiles in short order.
Any military Cats disagree about how to do it?
Plod-adjacent stuck its finger in the air and on the strength of that test said ‘we know it’s not terror-related”, just like Andrew Scipione and Catherine Burn weren’t sure,for heaven knows how long, that Man Monis actions weren’t terror-related
Cassie – you are so right. Straightaway we thought the decision to withhold the name was for obvious reasons. No doubt why the NSW police wanted to establish other reasons for attack first.
Uh, oh. It’s Benjamin Cohen.
Why isn’t there a police ‘beat’ station inside the shopping centre?
Used to be a feature in this part of the world. In their wisdom police higher ups closed them and shopping centre crime went through the roof.
While police are reduced to reacting to crime rather than acting to prevent it they are failing in their duty to the public.
This might seem the shallowest observation, but how good is it to see a police woman in blue, hair in a bun, no tattoos and a good figure. The only police I’ve seen for a decade are fat, flouro and hung all over with the tinsel of sunnies, straps, cameras and pride signs, and usually working the beat between the drivers’ seat and the takeaway counter.
Spoke to my little brother this morning, ex NSWPlod Inspector. Basically, because he is dead he needs to formally identified, and that is a process that takes time, even if “known to police”. Had he been arrested, rather than killed, his name could have been released straight away
The useless drone Karen Webb….
Ms Webb told a press conference: ‘Later this evening we became aware of who we believe the offender is and we believe that he is a 40-year-old man.
‘However, we are waiting to formally identify him and we cannot speculate yet on his identification.
The knifeman who killed five women and one man during a rampage in Sydney today was ‘known to police’.
How can this dunderhead keep her/they/them/its job?
So much for Penny Wong’s influence with Iranians. Or they might have misunderstood her and thought that when she said don’t bomb Israel she meant they can go ahead.

Saw a pix of her (out of uniform on some news site) this morning .. very, photogenic ….
Loathe as I am to quote myself…my comment at 5:51 yesterday.
We have seen this type of tactic before from both police and government. They are spinning a narrative. If he’s “known to police” he should, by now, be known to us.
It may be that identity is being withheld because his relatives need to be contacted first. There. That is all the benefit of the doubt I’m prepared to give them.
At present, my sensitive ears are hearing the grinding of reverse gears as Elbow, Wong, et al are distancing themselves from any hint of provocation and enabling.
And just a word in the Don’s learned shell-like…you don’t have to have a an SM presence to go on an idealogical rampage. Just a black heart, a weapon and a will to do it.
Anyhoo, apropos Sunday, he’re’s the Mutt of the Week.
Seriously, what a heart-breaker. Someone pick him up!
What about Israel’s Iron Beam defence? Isn’t that meant to take out smaller things like drones, so Iron Dome only has to deal with missiles?
I suppose we will see.
Has anyone heard from our phuckwits on this atrocity? Tony Burke? The Teal whores other than the deplorable Zoe Daniel? Adam Bandt?

Flashback: Joe Biden warned America before the 2020 election that Trump “is going to get us to war in Iran.”
President Biden is now on the verge of getting America involved in a regional war in the Middle East after Iran’s military drone attack on Israel.
Wesley Clark: Israel ‘Can’t’ ‘Trust the United States if Iran Strikes’ Because of How We’re Pressuring Them
That goes for all of them.
Joe Biden lies and lies and lies because he’s never had to pay any price
What I’ve learnt so far:
A) It’s racist and ‘slamophobic to suggest Stabby was jihading.
B) He was wearing a Kangaroo’s guernsey,
proof that he was white and voted One Nation.
British press reporting the attacker was Jewish.
Why so few beat police in or around one of Sydney’s busiest shopping centres?
The local plod shop here, 500 mts from the shopping centre is, generally. overflowing with uniformed & un-uniformed plod .. co-incidental with their lunch break .. and as a cunning stunt, every afternoon Mon thru Fri, they park an empty “divvie” van outside the main entrance to deter the parents picking up kids from the, next door, high school double parking and kids from dashing across the roadway ….
Sadly, after 5 years in the same spot, folk have cottoned on to this ruse and everyone ignores the vehicle and its, intended, message .. LOL!

WW3 might be starting in the M.E. but Sky News is still Sydney-centric.
More information about the killer from the police, apparently he was sleeping rough. I noticed that his facial and head hair was carefully trimmed into shape. Where did he get to do that? In the David Jones toilets at Westfield?

Police reveal identity of Bondi Junction killer
Joel Cauchi has been named as the man responsible for the horror stabbing attack at Westfield Bondi Junction.
The 40-year-old who is originally from Queensland was shot dead by police after stabbing to death six people while walking through the shopping centre in a Kangaroos rugby league jersey about 3pm on Saturday.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke said Cauchi had been living in Sydney for some time.
“We are continuing investigations in relation to him,” he said.
“We believe he came to New South Wales last month. We have spoken to his family and we will continue to do so.
“We know that shortly after coming to Sydney he took possession of a storage facility which has been identified and we have worked through that very small storage facility.
“I said last night, there is still to this point nothing that we have, the information we have received, no evidence we have recovered, no intelligence that we have gathered that would suggest that this was driven by any particular motivation, ideology or otherwise
According to Sky the killer is John or Joel Gauci.
I don’t know what this means, but it’s good news if true.

Police reveal identity of Bondi Junction killerJoel Cauchi has been named as the man responsible for the horror stabbing attack at Westfield Bondi Junction.
The 40-year-old who is originally from Queensland was shot dead by police after stabbing to death six people while walking through the shopping centre in a Kangaroos rugby league jersey about 3pm on Saturday.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke said Cauchi had been living in Sydney for some time.
The surname Cauchi is of Maltese origin. I am happy to be wrong but I doubt very much if Cauchi was Jewish. The name ‘Joel’ is, of course, a Biblical name, like David, Benjamin, Simon, Joseph, Jonathan and so on.
How can they say that when they can’t ask him now? Just because they haven’t found yet his manifesto doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
Probably “known to police” because of psychotic behaviour, fuelled by drug abuse.
There used to be institutions that treated these people and being released to play out their delusions amongst the public wasn’t as easy as walking out the door.
Darwin’s pre-eminent purveyor of smallgoods and scourge of Palli lovers on the Cat urged caution to no avail.
Yes, that now looks like a red herring, Cassie, although even 7 Sunrise here went with it by the looks.
Killer came to NSW last month, had storage facility
Ellie Dudley
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke says the man at the centre of a horrific mass stabbing in Bondi suffered from mental health issues.
Queensland man Joel Cauchi, 40, was identified as the attacker on Sunday morning in a press conference held by police.
“We know that the offender in the matter suffered from mental health,” Cooke told reporters.
We are continuing to work through the profiling of the offender but very clearly to us at this stage it would appear that this is related to the mental health of the individual involved.”
Cooke confirmed Cauchi came to New South Wales last month and took possession of a small storage facility.
“As I had said last night, there is still to this point nothing that we have, no information we have received, no evidence we have recovered, no intelligence we have gathered, that would suggest that this was driven by any particular motivation, ideology or otherwise,” Cooke said.
Well I think I was wrong. I accept that.
The knifer has been identified as 40 year old Queensland man Joel Cauchi, who came to NSW last month.
May be not muesli, but still a terrorist.
now Albo’s adding words to the Bondi problem ffs
Albo … stfu
… go get us some coffees
If the Bondi killings are only due to insanity then our health system has failed. We are no longer removing dangerously unstable people from the general population thus putting us all into danger.
Not necessarily.
This may be a genuine case of mental illness or drug induced psychosis.
It will all come out in the wash.
