I’m going to guess the shooters were white supremacists with incoherent ideology
The guy who tackled one of the shooters to take his shotgun away is a legend though
Update: Appears one of the suspects is likely Middle East/Arabic/Subcontinent background. Going to see a rise in racism for sure
Update 2: Rabbi Schlanger (pro Israel man who wrote a letter to Albanese to deny Palestine statehood and is also one of the organisers of the even taking place at Bondi Beach) is one of the dead. ASIO claim one of the shooters was known to them, of course. Now up to 16 dead


In particular the Catholic church hated you trying to predict when the apocalypse was happening. It was fine to do art about it or philosophize about it. The minute you start to predict it they came down like a hammer. Which for at least pragmatic reasons, you make the church looks silly if you’re wrong.
