Horrific. This is horrible, I hope the ambulance are able to help all the wounded. It’s important that we do what we can, as a community, to help support those affected.
The heroic response from those around, including citizens and the police, probably saved many lives, and it’s important that we recognise their courage.
But that’s impossible! Guns are illegal in Australia! Everybody knows, once you ban all the guns, that immediately and permanently stops all gun violence from happening, ever!
Dickhead.
Oh fuck off. You AU cunts have no problem brigading every news story about mass shootings to “thank god we don’t live in a third-world country” and post your little school shooter memes. Go cry me a fuckin river
Are you paid by the NRA or are you just being a dumbarse cockhead NRA schill for free?
They’re not wrong, though. Banning things doesn’t stop people from obtaining them. See: abortions and cannabis.
Also fuck the NRA.
Coincidentally, they are wrong (the guns were legally owned), but it doesn’t even matter. They’re coming into a grieving community to sarcastically troll about US gun legislation using some ridiculous strawman argument.
So they can get fucked.
folks like you is the reason why the rest of the world can’t take people from the US serious anymore.
Hey mate, you need to fuck off some more. Then fuck off again.
One of the perpetrators had 6 registered firearms. A frankly ridiculous amount for one person to have. Further proof that access to deadly weapons is… oh, I don’t know, maybe just possibly a bad thing that should be tightly regulated.
To be fair to legitrimate shooters, if you’re a farmer or game shooter you’ll need different firearms. It’s a bit like owning six different sized spanners. The number of guns isn’t the issue, it’s the use.
Imagine how bad it would have been if they had automatic weapons.
Ten people dead and you want to “pwn the libs”
You’re a goddamn embarrassment to the species
Oh fuck off. You AU cunts have no problem brigading every news story about mass shootings to “thank god we don’t live in a third-world country” and post your little school shooter memes. Go cry me a fuckin river
Have you tried actually addressing your issues instead of just getting angry about them?
Fuck riiiiiiight off
You first. You AU cunts have no problem brigading every news story about mass shootings to “thank god we don’t live in a third-world country” and post your little school shooter memes. Go cry me a fuckin river
Wow, so mature! Much wow. Nah dog you can fuck right off

Mate, we’ve had less mass shootings in 25 years than the USA has had in November alone this year, are you just cooked in the head or what?
It’s bad enough shit like this happens overseas. It’s even worse that this can happen here, literally on the other side of the world.
Well it happens in Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne. It does frustrate me a bit that these things get framed as Australian issues when they’re often not.
i don’t get how it’s not an australian issue for an australian to shoot a bunch of people in australia
Look through the list of terrorist attacks (successful and prevented) in Australia, you’ll consistently see the same two cities coming up. It is hysterical and/or arrogant to immediately frame this as a national issue when it’s just simply not. Australia is not mono-cultural, we shouldn’t be extrapolating out from two cities and pretending the other ~60% of the population suddenly has something to fear.
but there’s only 2 cities in australia
Man you’re not even correct on your claims.
“The most populous states have the highest number of people doing shit” yeah it’s called statistical probability.
Did you not read the page you linked?.Most of the incidents are in Sydney or Melbourne or their outer suburbs/districts. And yes, bigger cities tend to have higher reports of terrorism. That is entirely consistent with the point I am making here.
You literally claimed this can’t be a national problem because baawww two states.
Those two states hold the majority of the population of the nation. Hell, their individual capital cities alone hold about double the entirety of WA. Combined, they make up over half the country - as in nearly 60% of our entire population. What friggin’ metric do you need for something to be considered national?
Sydney + Melbourne is closer to 40% of the nation’s population. Not really sure why you’re talking about states, that’s a complete strawman on your part.
This attack occurred as our Jewish community came together at the Chanukah by the Sea celebration. This was a celebration of peace and hope for the future, severed by hate.
This will surely help everyone to discontinue support for Israel and the violence in palestine will stop immediately.
What does a bunch of Aussies enjoying a holiday at the beach have to do with Israel?
Why do you think the perps chose these particular Aussies ?
It was for a Hanukkah celebration, there were a lot of Jewish people, and Israel has been working hard to equate Jewish with Israeli zionism
So are you saying a bunch of Aussies should not enjoy a holiday at the beach?
Wait till you see what happens on Christmas Days! There’s even thousands of tourists too!
@fizzle@quokk.au’s sarcastic comment was in poor taste and probably went over the heads of a few people. I understand the sentiment behind the comment and I think l It was probably posted out of horror, frustration, anger at the news.
I think @T00l_shed@lemmy.world may have been trying to help connect the dots for anyone who didn’t understand what fizzle was going on about.
Not so much horror, frustration, and anger, as merely trying to understand the motivations of the perps. I genuinely want to understand more about that.
Yes, that is what I intended. Thanks!
So are you saying a bunch of Aussies should not enjoy a holiday at the beach
If you can find where I said that, I would be fucking impressed
Well the comment you replied to spoke about Aussies enjoying holidays on beaches. Your reply didn’t address that at all. Therefore the obvious inference is that you may be against Aussies enjoying holidays on the beaches. I thought it was a very fair question.
Irony, sarcasm and sometimes humour is not well transmitted on the internet, ay?
It was more than just about Aussies enjoying holiday beaches, they asked about what it had to do with Israel, and I just explained how people are conflating the two.
Oh, there is a whole lot of conflating going on, alright.
Fucking pussy little cunts, I hope that one in hospital survives so we can send him to our worst prison where he can live his life getting fucking beat the living fuck out of like the cowardly little bitch cunt he is… the other one is dead, good fucking riddance.
God I hope he survives so he can face the Consequences of being a bitch cunt.
Lock him in a cell with some of our worst criminals and leave them be, Ohh after telling them what he did of course.
I can’t find news that one is dead. Can you let me know what source you used please?
Edit: found it. Yahoo news is reporting that one of the gunmen is dead, one in custody with ten others dead. ABC is reporting three dead, ten wounded, both gunmen in custody as at 8:23 pm Sydney time
Yeah I saw footage, one guy is completely down. Looks like the rifleman was wounded, and mister disarmed is obviously in custody.
Whoever that guy was that disarmed one of the shooters should have free drinks at every single bar in Australia.
Around the world. He is literally the hero we don’t deserve.
I am currently living in central Europe and I am fairly sure we could get him a drink in almost every bar here. Or more.
Direct link to footage of the legend of the century:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-14/active-shooter-bondi-beach-sydney-nsw/106141580
What an absolute legend. Fuckin hero.
Fking ballsy, one turn and he wouldve been fucked.
Police media have confirmed to the ABC that 10 people have died in this evening’s shooting at Bondi Beach, including one of the shooters and nine victims.
Twelve people were also injured, including multiple police officers responding to the incident.
A second shooter is among the injured, and is in custody.
If those 2 fuckers followed a peaceful ideology this wouldn’t have happened.
Also if they weren’t being fed antisemitic propaganda by the Israeli government and its supporters, conflating the nation-state currently committing genocide with an ethnoreligious group, in a deliberate attempt to cause exactly this sort of thing to happen.
always an excuse eh?
What’s the excuse? It’s just a fact. Israel and it’s supporters deliberately conflate the nation of Israel with the religion. That part is undeniable.
If you’re being charitable, it’s because it allows them to brush off criticism of their genocide and apartheid state as being “antisemitic”. If you’re less charitable towards Israel’s government and supporters, it’s that, plus it has the added “bonus” of inflaming the kinds of actual antisemitism that help drive support for Israel’s cause.
The irony being of course that Israel’s own stance is itself antisemitic, and as such it is the world’s number one source of antisemitism.
They were not killed for being Israeli, because they weren’t Israeli, they were Australian. They were killed because they were Jews. Obviously.
You’re making excuses for it and desperately trying to blame the victims because that’s what antisemites do.
No, they were killed because the murderers fell for the Israeli antisemitic lie. The idea that all actions of Israel are necessarily representative of all Jews. The same lie that you are spreading here by assuming that because the victims were Jews, and because I put a portion of the blame on Israel, I must be blaming the victims. Even though the victims’ position on Israel is not known.
I think that’s their point - the Zionist movement intentionally tries to conflate Israel with Jewish people and with Judaism. For example, criticism of the country Israel and pro-Palestinean actions have generally been framed by Zionist groups as an attack on Jewish people, rather than an attack on a country and its actions.
This uses Jewish people as a shield for the actions of Zionism, and encourages antisemitism as a result. When some mass media news, social media influencers and racist agitators (e.g. neo-Nazis) all try to associate regular Jewish locals with the atrocities of Israel, this scapegoating puts all Jewish people (even those who are anti-Israel) in danger of indiscriminate attack.
ah ok, what’s your reasoning for this one?
German authorities are suspecting that the attack plans were based on an Islamist motive and that it would be carried out by car. The suspects include a 56-year-old Egyptian, a 37-year-old Syrian and three Moroccans aged 22, 28 and 30.

Hard to know what these cunts we’re thinking. But we can guess that with their nutty religious perspective, they see everything in terms of religion. The U.S. is a Christian power that enables Israel. So Christians and Christmas could be legit revenge targets in their eyes. Who knows?
No, of course not a fucking excuse, but a distinct possibility if you coldly consider which entities could possibly benefit from a violent attack on civilian Jewish community.
It’s all Biden’s fault . If Biden didn’t falsely imprison all the Jan 6 freedom fighters and let in terrorists at the borders Trump wouldn’t have to have ICE
¿Que?
Just conspiracy satire, seagoon’s great.
It’s highly likely the guy.being hailed a hero for disarming one of the terrorists is Muslim.
Eat shit racist prick.
LOLOLOLOL. You are the one bringing islam to the discussion and projecting what you think about it but without the guts to say it.
being hailed a hero for disarming one of the terrorists is Muslim.
Here is your contradiction.
Explain the contradiction.
Figure it out. The same way you wouldn’t waste your time arguing with flat earthers, I’m not going to waste my time discussing with whahabis. Both types of people are dumb and nothing i’ll say will change their minds.
Too cowardly to just openly say what you’re trying to imply? You’re already very openly bigoted, just explain the contradiction you’re trying to point to.

So you say it’s irrelevant who saved who, in a conversation directly related to somebody stopping a shooter, then sarcastically call Islam a religion of peace when saying the shooters were Muslim “yet again”, then accuse me of banning people which I don’t do? What are you on about? You need to get your head checked mate.
I believe you are a bad human :)
Well, at least i don’t gun down people, so i guess i’m not that bad… (i’m at least better than those two)
