They interviewed him but it wouldnt play for me so cant verify the accent. Apparently there were 2 French mates going to the gym and stepped up.So he started as an Aussie, to Ukranian and now French?

Instant millionaire now.
I don’t know that ‘Assassin at Bondi’ would’ve been a helpful headline….I wish they named me lol
Witnesses who were there suggest he was just looking for easy targets.. there's also quite a few women's fashion stores at Bondi Westfield so it's probably a coincidence... have to factor in the baby as well because only a genuine messed up **** would knife a baby.I don’t know that ‘Assassin at Bondi’ would’ve been a helpful headline….
Speculative but wondering if this bloke was an Incel - majority of victims women (maybe the male security guard got in his way) - he did advertise himself as an escort. Reports that he was living out of a car, estranged from family etc - obviously had issues - just wrong that innocent people were in the way when his angst boiled over. The real question is how can such a random and senseless act be stopped again?
Could be - hence I admitted speculative. Best to wait to see what the investigation uncovers. I just think the bigger concern is will we ever know what was the trigger and if so how do we stop it happening again?Witnesses who were there suggest he was just looking for easy targets.. there's also quite a few women's fashion stores at Bondi Westfield so it's probably a coincidence... have to factor in the baby as well because only a genuine messed up **** would knife a baby.
He was schizophrenic and was probably on something.. there's footage of him earlier falling over and even in the Westfield footage you can see he's not there.. a witness also said his "eyes were jet black".Could be - hence I admitted speculative.

Yeah it was beyond stupid yesterday ....Absolutely nothing, again the media trying to add fuel to the flame.
The media outlets are trying to out do each other and sooner or later they are going to start interviewing the most random people looking for a break.
Yeah, I thought so...He was schizophrenic and was probably on something.. there's footage of him earlier falling over and even in the Westfield footage you can see he's not there.. a witness also said his "eyes were jet black".
I dont believe it has anything to do with weaker people....I think it was more related to picking weaker targets than anything else. Any males who appeared to confront him he avoided.
The building owners have nothing to do with it. They provide fire and terrorist or active incident training for tenants evacuation plans smoke alarms fucking lift and entry security @Hacky McAxe sprinklers fire doors and pressurised fire stairs in the event of a ADT trigger CCTV signage warning about slippery surfaces security that are instructed to not engage if someone has a weapon ewis system’s smoke spill systems emergency lift call outs HVAC maintenance Cooling tower colony counts I could rattle off 10000 more but if a mentally ill guy comes in with a knife and starts attacking people you can’t really stop that.The government needs to put pressure on shopping centres to increase security and police presence.
My partner as a cleaner at one major centre fears for her safety on the job. Too many aggressive fools lurk all day without any reason to be there.
That reads as fake as any non literate person would put together.....
Interesting point.The government needs to put pressure on shopping centres to increase security and police presence.

Exactly the question I was asking.but if a mentally ill guy comes in with a knife and starts attacking people you can’t really stop that.
I would be interested to know if you find out. it's concerning to us as my step daughter works at a retailer there as well after school. The shoppers don't pose a threat. Unfortunately at most centres there's a core of unemployed Karens that harass the vulnerable.Interesting point.
Have a mate who works for Scentre (Westfield parent) so I’ll ask him. Affordability shouldn’t be an issue - the amount they charge retailers per sq/m for rent made my eyes water - how anyone turns a buck is baffling.
Yep and it’s not your job to do it and it’s the job of a police officer which she did very well and she should be commended for it.Exactly the question I was asking.
Hard to see how any planning/training avoids that.
I wasn't implying that the mentally ill event that took place was foreseeable. That's impossible.The building owners have nothing to do with it.

Umm okay good question we’ll security in retail premises like Westfield need a square metre property security ratio so I’m not sure how many they need but the thing is the security is told to watch and act not to engage (often they are under trained). I would make sure your family is familiar with the fire exists and evacuation procedures. Request to go to the 6 monthly evacuation training and the most important thing is in the face of a fire or terrorist attack or lone attack get Out. Don’t worry about anyone else worry about that later.I wasn't implying that the mentally ill event that took place was foreseeable. That's impossible.
I just took a moment to discuss in general an opportunity that some security reforms are needed at shopping centres. There isn't a venue or event these days with that lack of security .
I can appreciate that you seem to know adequately on evacuation procedures etc but I just want to know who is responsible for policing?
This affects people close to me and we are forced to confront the issues out of necessity to earn a living.
