Everytime someone gets run over by a car, we should have a thread wondering if it's terrorism.

yeah this is what happened and not an apparently deliberate attack using a tactic that has been used in terrorism recently.

There might be a religious fixation after all though drugs are also a major factor.



quote:

Mr Wilson said Mr Gargasoulas was a "nice kid", but on Wednesday night he became violent.

He said he came into his flat with a Bible, sat down and started burning it before throwing the burning book into his face.

"I flicked it onto the floor then he stood up and punched me," Mr Wilson said.

He said Mr Gargasoulas then attacked him. "Give me your keys or I'll gouge your eyes out," Mr Gargasoulas allegedly demanded.

Gargasoulas has a second Facebook page on which he recently began posting about religion, God, Satan, heaven and hell.

The comments are often nonsensical and rant about good and evil. In one chilling post he says an army will be needed to "take me."

On Saturday he posted: "I know exactly how to take you dogs down the power of knowing has revealed and I shall have God's laws re-instated."

Here's the guy doing some sick burnouts in the middle of the busiest crossroad of the city before peeling out and murdering a bunch of people:

Here's a video of the aftermath. :nms: and :nws: because there's a ton of people lying in pools of blood screaming in pain and terror.

the idea that modernity would bring some secular intelligent people who are rational, conquer their fears, and learn to take care of looking after themselves instead of begging for god is instantly ruined the second you realize facebook safety checks actually exist, and people i went to highschool with click on them and type up an emotional blog post about IM OK IM 4 HOURS AWAY FROM THAT CITY

it's absurd to the point where norm macdonald actually parodied it before it existed

On the other hand at least a dozen people I know work in the Melbourne CBD and were in the general vicinity of the killings. A friend of a friend was apparently in the crowd and got bumped by the car and another guy I know was one of the first bystanders to jump in and start helping the victims. They haven't released the names of the deceased yet and there's a chance it could be someone I know.

Walked past it on the way back to work probably about 5 minutes after it happened, absolutely loving awful.

Pretty sick walking around filming the victims too.

There's also a video of some guy talking about how he saw some other guy yelling ALLAHU ACKBAR which is being passed around social media quite a lot as evidence that the killer was a secret Muslim but the lying media are refusing to cover it, but the video is only 12 seconds long so someone edited down real short for some reason. Also a bunch of the other witnesses have said that the guy was just calmly smoking and not showing any emotion or saying anything as he played Real Life Carmaggedon. Also the newspapers have released the killer's name and people have found his Facebook accounts and it turns out that he's a Greek guy who had a God fixation.

Huh, guess I had my cities mixed up. When I searched "Melbourne bus driver" google suggested burnt and fire though, so I'm not the only one.

Those of us who voted for him did so precisely because he's like that.
Don't pay any attention to the fact that some limp wristed bleeding heart judge let a violent psychopath out on parole or anything.
