If only Australia had concealed-carry laws, in which case he could have been shot by another customer after - or even before - claiming his first victim. 34 or 35 lives could have been saved

Not that it's telling of anything but the gun used by this murderer is nearly identical to the one held by Al Pacino in the OcUK Don avatar.

?? AR15 (Armalite 15) patent sold to Colt and produced as the M16 ?? (FN?? Herstal perhaps? SCAR?)

Anyway, I cant believe I had never heard of this before. Despite the analysts claiming otherwise there is something profoundly wrong with the man. Maybe it was just the case that they cleared him as fit for trial to avoid the public uproar that would surely have followed had he wriggled off on the mentally unfit grounds.

I thought the incident is what led to guns being banned in Australia?

KK, concealed carry laws then.

Quite shocking reading that, I feel quite ignorant for not being aware of this tragic event.

Very sad

Gotta say I'm surprised people haven't heard of it, it did make the headline news here.

Reminds me of the North Hollywood bank robbery that was on Shootout a while back.

The way it described him walking around a tree to shoot a little girl made me :mad:

R.I.P. Everyone.

They should let the families who were affected beat the living crap out of him.

Yeah that was really upsetting, also the bit where it says he saw people go and hide under a coach so he casually bent down and picked them off

asim · 28 Apr 2006 at 16:57

That is unbelievable. I cant believe people can just go out and commit cold blooded murder like that.

I assume everyone else can see it fine?

Otacon · 28 Apr 2006 at 17:06

I can, and nobody else has said anything.

asim · 28 Apr 2006 at 17:19

I see it fine.

That story is horrific to say the least, what angers me the most is that he was able to purchase weapons without a license :eek:

Thank you for posting that. Was a harrowing but fascinating read.

Mad old tory · 28 Apr 2006 at 17:53

Shocking, really cannot believe that someone could be so callous. The way that he even just crouched and shot the people under the bus shows how calculating the whole thing was. RIP to those killed

Pants · 28 Apr 2006 at 17:58

I espeially didn't like the bit where he told the bloke to get in the boot, then shot his girlfriend through the head. Or the blokes getting shot in the head to protect their better halves.

Must be awful to loose your other half like that.
