    Default Man (Islamic?) mowed down pedestrians in Melbourne today

    On ABC News 24 live at moment terrible.

    The arrested man looks middle eastern in the arrest footage. Even though they claim it's not terrorist related.

    NOTHING is terrorist related in Australia......haven't you listened to our politicians and bleeding hearts?
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Maybe he just 'used to' spend a lot of time @ the beach, because he will never see the light of day ever again though IMHO a bullet to the brain would be a farrrrr better outcome for all concerned

    A Greek terrorist? In Melbourne?

    So he's descended from 85% of the population then.

    Whoever this nutter is, he is said to have stabbed his brother on Thursday.

    His actions today, firstly with the donuts in the intersection outside Flinders St Station were obviously intended to attract police attention.

    Not terrorism related?..... I guess that was determined solely after police stripped him in the street without finding any explosive devices on him.

    I wouldn't be so sure.

    As soon as I saw the footage, my mind went "It's a Lebo", but ABC say Greek. Looks like he was in the background, trying to get attention in a TV news story this morning too.

    Ironically, the reporter was doing a story on him... being the offender who stabbed his brother on Thursday.

    Now the media is saying "known to Police" (family violence) and "mental health issues'. In other words: there is at least one professional person, charged with protecting the public from violent criminals and / or violent nutters who let him out on the streets, when he should have been locked up (either in gaol or a psych ward) for the good of society. That professional person has clearly demonstrated incompetence and needs to be held to account.

    The Herald Sun can reveal the man police believe is responsible for today’s atrocity is 26-year-old Dimitrious Gargasoulas.

    On Saturday night, Gargasoulas was bailed by a bail justice for the assault of his mother’s partner Gavin Wilson.

    Police believe the incident is connected to an earlier stabbing in Windsor that left another man in critical condition 12 hours earlier. Hours later, the man allegedly took a woman, who is known to him, hostage in his car before she escaped on the Bolte Bridge.

    The stabbing victim is said to be the offender's brother.

    The man who allegedly mowed down around two dozen people in Melbourne's CBD on Friday, killing three and injuring 20 others, has a history of drug use, violence and psychological problems.

    James "Jimmy" Gargasoulas, 26, was bailed by a bail justice on the weekend after he was arrested in St Kilda for a number of alleged offences, including family violence and stealing another car, sources said.

    When I first saw the video of this person doing do-nuts outside Flinders Street Station, my first thoughts were he was trying to commit suicide by Police based on stories being heard that the Victorian Police were a bit 'Gun Happy'.
    Because each of the News services have given a different version of the event, I am not too clear if he left Flinders Street because the Police didnt turn up or was he followed from there to the Bourke Street Mall where he crashed into the people there.
    Going on his medical history so far reported, he may end up not being held responsible for his actions due to Mental Illness.

    Regrettably nothing can be done to this piece of human waste to restore the lives of those killed nor take away any pain or suffering of those injured during his rampage.

    If what shred reports is true this bloke should have been locked up and the key thrown away. Any person responsible for permitting him to go on his murderous rampage, i.e. letting him loose on the world, should also be held to account.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    The offender was shot in the arm by police... a non life threatening injury.

    All I can say is the police need better firearms training.
