There was video from another Aussie that ran toward the bridge, got REAL close & actually had a better vantage point than the cops behind the vehicles did. He shouted out to them what the younger gunman was doing, where his attention was, when he popped up so they could fire. He even took it upon himself to draw the gunman's attention long enough to allow the cops to try to take him out. The gunman did see him & took aim but I'm uncertain if that was the moment cops actually shot him because the Aussie dropped down as soon as he made eye contact with the gunman & was aimed at.

Chaos, trauma, death, confusion & lots of bravery that day.

First, acts of violence in the Bible are presented in a descriptive manner, not as instructions. This is comparable to listening to a true crime podcast that describes how someone was killed and then claiming that it is calling for violence.

Second, many people make the mistake of comparing the books to one another. However, the Qur’an cannot be compared to the Bible at all, because Christians do not regard the Bible itself as sacred, but merely as a piece of paper, and they do not claim that it is free of error. For this reason, it is also not a major issue for Christians if the Bible is burned, because it is simply a book written by humans.

The Qur’an, by contrast, has a transcendent character, since Muslims assume that God’s word has passed from the immaterial realm into the physical world through this book.

Therefore, the Bible cannot be compared to the Qur’an, but rather the Qur’an should be compared to Jesus Christ, because Jesus reflects precisely this idea, namely that God came to earth in the form of Jesus.

One should therefore not fall for this narrative of comparing the two books in this way.

Imagine being this loud & this wrong.

No ammo.

Awwww. Aussies are so kind that they disarm mass shooters and allow them to retreat to kill more instead of just greasing their ass after having them at gunpoint at point blank range. At least an American woukd have dome pieced the guy.

Run and ask questions later. The only thing that lessened the kill count is the hero, which you rarely see someone that brave, and the fact the shooters didn’t have AR style rifles. 15 deaths is horrifying but if they had the weapons we have it would have been considerably higher.

I honestly think not knowing what gunshots actually sound like could have contributed to this. They were likely mistaken for fireworks etc. Because many people who have never heard it or shot a gun.
