Update: Police identified the mass killer as 40-year-old Joel Cauchi, who had mental problems. He is not tied to a terrorist group.
A Middle Eastern-looking man reportedly killed six people and wounded others; eight are hospitalized, and some are critical. It took place in a popular shopping mall in Sydney. Officials confirm that the knifeman was not motivated by terror or ideology. The 40-year-old was known to police.
We’ve been told in the US that it only happens here.
This horror occurred at the Westfield Bondi Junction Shopping Centre on Saturday afternoon. The nine-month-old baby is undergoing surgery, and her mother has died.
The knifeman was reportedly shot and killed in the mall by a policewoman who quickly responded to reports of the attack.
One man and five women died; one died in the hospital.
This report is from 11 a.m. EST:

“We saw the man run up to the woman with the baby, and then we were both ready to go and help out.
The mother came with the baby bleeding, and we got them into the store and just kind of safe.

Yeah he was known to the police, wonder why? Of course he had mental problems, but he wasn’t in a mental institution. The government will protect you, but first they will disarm you and make you helpless in the face of homicidal maniacs.
We’ve been told in the US that it only happens here.
Yeah, well, at least in Australia this mass murderer wasn’t able to use an assault weapon, you know, a scary looking gun. Of course with Australia’s gun confiscation laws and severe restrictions on carrying a knife as a defensive weapon, the victims had no chance to defend themselves unless they were a super hero trained in hand to hand combat.
Ah the Amish strike again. Can we hear from the 16% crowd to lecture us again about the benefits of diversity? Notice how rapidly the authorities tell us about the motives of the attack when they can’t provide identification of the attacker or his victims. Nothing amiss here, stand operating procedure. Diversity is a great wonder, ask the British, Swedes, Germans, and French. By the way ask the Japanese and Koreans what they think about it.
And all those gun control people answer me this, how did gun control protect these women? Just one man carrying would have saved them. One might look at the crime stats in London to see how gun control has impacted that city, just as it has all American cities.
