        Unfortunately no. The hero points the shotgun at the murderer but it appears he either didn’t know how to use it or wasn’t prepared to shoot someone. The murderer then runs over to his accomplice and picked up another gun. The video is on the publicfreakout subreddit if you want to see it.

          Here in not-america we generally don’t kill people who are not an imminent threat, like someone who has been disarmed.

          I’ve seen the video of the guy being disarmed and moving away towards the bridge, but not the part where he re-armed himself.

          Even if, in this particular case, the perp did rearm and injured more people, our hesitance to shoot someone who is not an imminent threat has no doubt prevented the deaths of many thousands of people over the years.

                It’s a BBC article posted about Australia posted in worldnews, you don’t need to bring America up. Bring on the downvotes, losers.

                  There’s some context here you might be missing.

                  The hero points the shotgun at the murderer but it appears he either didn’t know how to use it or wasn’t prepared to shoot someone.

                  There’s a third option that would be lost on Americans but obvious to everyone else: seeing that the attacker was no longer an imminent threat, the guy chose not to execute him.

                  The comment I replied to has a very American perspective, and its obvious to everyone who is not American.

                    Wow what a uniquely American idea, only Americans believe in capital punishment and execution.

                    You are truly a critical thinker, and your biases against a non-monolithic grouping are not delusional at all.

      Nothing in that article says this guy is muslim, you’re spreading misinformation about this man

          Once again, this article doesn’t show any evidence that this man is muslim. The headline is misleading and not supported at all in this article.

          I feel like people like you are quickly making up assumptions about this man based solely on his name and using that assumption to push narratives. This man is a hero, no doubt, but I haven’t seen any actual evidence of his religious beliefs in any local or major media outlet.

            I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right. A quick google search contained no information about his religion

              Multiple outlets are reporting he’s a Muslim man. I’d imagine others are not as his religion isn’t exactly relevant to his being a hero.

                They’re not reporting it because there’s no evidence regarding this man’s religious beliefs. You just went out of your way to find a couple of clickbait headlines without even bothering to read them to spread narratives. You’re a part of the problem.

                    The source of this guy being muslim in the article is literally Benjamin Netanyahu…

                    Regardless, all I wanted was for you to provide an article that at least had a source for the claim. I don’t trust anything Netanyahu says out of principle, but still this is an article that does provide something to support the claim. It’s not a pure clickbait headline that’s misleading. So there we go, that puts whatever this was to rest.

              Media literacy is dead. People on here are willing to believe clickbait headlines and misinformation if it pushes a narrative they subscribe to.

                It’s because the ‘people’ you are talking are either propagandists or bots.
